Using Regions to Isolate areas?

[Kno_Mad]

Hello,

Is it possible to use Regions to isolate area's on a map? I have a number of small enterable rooms off to the one side behind a masked area. I would like to have ranged units not be able to attack each-other through the 'black-ness'...

I could possibly spam line-of-sight blockers, but can it be done with triggers and regions?

So it likes if u are in that area, no ranged units who are out of that area cannot attack u right?

Make a simple trigger for each region:

Event - unit is attacked
If (attacked unit is in region equal to false) Then (order attacking unit to stop).

You could also use visibility modifiers.

^ This is perfect for what he want. )

Would this stop the unit before it fires the first shot?

Visibility Modifiers? Could you explain a bit more please?

Yes. It would stop the unit before it fires the first shot.
Visibility Modifiers are triggers that create a visibility for a player at target region.

It would stop the unit before it starts to animate. The effect is that the archer will just stand still, looking at the target. A move order away from this will be seamless.

For visibility modifiers, you once again separate all the areas into regions. Next, you reduce each unit's sight range to 0. When a player has a unit in an area, you create a visibility modifier for that player in that region, save it to a variable, and destroy it when the player has no more units in the region.

A MUCH simpler method, though, would be to simply use cliffs. Use a large square size -2 cliff level.

I dont think using cliff would be able to stop the archer from firing.
