Visibility reset

[FannyShaver]

Event - 5sec of the game

Actions -

Visibility - Disable Fog Of War visibility
Visibility - Disable Black Mask visibility
Player - Modify player 1 Minerals: Add 1000
Player - Modify player 1 Minerals: Add 1000
Player - Modify player 1 Minerals: Add 1000
Player - Modify player 1 Vespene: Add 1000
Visibility - Enable Fog Of War visibility

In wc3 this would make an impression of already explored terrain keeping fog of war. for some reason it doesn't work, can someone take a look at this or it's just me?

 

[Ancanus]

Doesn't already explored terrain always keep fog of war? Or you mean you want a black mask over explored terrain? If so, you can use this:

• Events
  • Timer - Every 0.5 seconds of Game Time
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Visibility - Change visibility for player 1 to Unexplored within (Entire map) and Do Not check cliff level

 

[FannyShaver]

Didn't worked. I guess they are buggy overhere. I'll try few other things, then I guess it's a good idea to report a bug.
For instance, even if you do, in Map Options No Fog of War for unexplored terrain, and in trigger set Fog of War On, it doesn't.

 

[Ancanus]

Is this what you're trying to accomplish?

 

[FannyShaver]

Here's what I am trying to achieve:

1 is currently explored by unit
2 has been already explored but is currently fogged
3 has not been explored and has a gray or black maks (fuck knows which one)

I am trying to have all 3 like 2.

 

[Ancanus]

Did you say Map Options : Unexplored Areas = Gray Mask didn't do it?

 

[FannyShaver]

No. There is a slight difference, but not exactly as much as I need it.

  • Local Variables

    • Visibility - Change visibility for player 1 to Explored within (Playable map area) and Do Not check cliff level

What about that?

Oh wait, just read the rest of the thread. The above one said unexplored though..

 

[Ancanus]

Yes. Actually like sgrage says. How about using that trigger to explore then unexplore?

What's the point of unexploring it? What he wants is for the entire map to be explored.

True, what am I saying...

Does just exploring does what you need?

 

[sqrage]

Yea, I tested it and that's exactly what it does.

 

[FannyShaver]

No, what I want is to do this in the beginning of the game, people start game, and give them already explored terrain.
I need 3 ( unexplored and still gray masked terrain to be explored and fogged without mask automatically, entire map).

 

[Ancanus]

Ok... let's try agreeing in some terms.

FannyShaver, from your image let's call:
zone 1, WHITE
zone 2, GRAY
zone 3, BLACK

What color do you want for:
a) An area where no unit has gone to.
b) An area that an unit has explored.

 

[sqrage]

I don't see how this is not what you're asking...

Well, so either something is wrong with my pc, or I dunno. Once gray mask (explored and fogged terrain as you say) is applied I can't see no terrain - just like a black mask.

Don't apply any masks or anything. The ONLY trigger you have to use is the one I posted above for the result in my screenshot.

I love you, but you need to use VOCABULARY correctly...

FOG = gray mask (at one point you saw but now you don't)
UNEXPLORED = BLACK (at no point have you seen)
VISIBLE = you can see...

as far as I know there are no OTHER options... so what you are asking for is...

the entire map to have "fog of war" ?

 

[FannyShaver]

Did exactly as you said. Here's the effect, it does differ;

And without stripes

I bet you can see the difference between this what will be explored and this what already was.

Trigger:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Game - Map initialization
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Modify player 1 Minerals: Add 1000
    • Player - Modify player 1 Minerals: Add 1000
    • Player - Modify player 1 Minerals: Add 1000
    • Player - Modify player 1 Vespene: Add 1000
    • Visibility - Change visibility for player 1 to Explored within (Playable map area) and Do check cliff level

 

[Ancanus]

How is what you are trying to accomplish different from the map I attached?
