Visibility problem

[HungryHusky]

Hi. Is there any way to disable "Advanced Options > Visiblity" settings before launching a map? I don't want players to be able to use the options "Always visible" or "map explored".

Triggers won't do. Enabling visibility modifier with black mask leaves explored areas black, which I don't want.
"Map Options > Masked areas are partially visible" does not prevent players from selecting the advanced options, so this won't do either.

Any ideas?

I think you should use the enable black and Visibility modifier mask and THEN Disable them.

^this

And do it during Init, if fails do it on 0.00/0.01 second game time.

does that make one region always black for other player? need it always back to they cannot see what they do but sometimes units do not attack

Unit won't attack when they lack sight, regardless if they're in acquisition range (experienced this). Provoked unit still retaliates though.

Unless you make the unit loss their sight when inside, but grant them ~200 range of vision manually so they can see themselves and around them so they can attack.

Like this? It didn't work. It leaves the whole map explored.

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Visibility - Enable black mask
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for Player 9 (Gray) emitting Black mask across (Playable map area)
    • Visibility - Disable (Last created visibility modifier)
    • Visibility - Disable black mask
    • Custom script: call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

EDIT: Ok. I removed the "Visibility - Disable black mask" and it now works for the option "Always visible", but not for the "Map explored". Very strange.

Still looking for solutions.

Enable both Fog of War and Black Mask?
