Can anyone tell me how to make this work, I have tried so many object fields...
I'm trying to make the trees transparent when I walk under the canopy or behind them... I have seen it done before...

I see it happens sometimes when my peons are chopping lumber when the tree is on a higher cliff.

I'm tired of failing...How do I use this guys?


Cinematic - Enable occlusion for (All players)

When Occlusion is enabled, trees that block vision of units become transparent.

I see no "Pathing Map" only "Pathing Texture" which has not made a difference yet...
Same with fly-over height so far...

I messed with object fields for a long time....
Looking for that winning combo...



IF you don't know please don't try to help.
Thanks all

Alright, I do know. Set the occlusion height to a negative value. If that doesn't work, then go into preferences and check the 'allow negative values in object editor' box, and try again.

It works for me, and it should work for you too.

any other fields, cause that alone does nothing for me except make you able see past trees like they aren't there....

I'm pretty sure this can only be done by modifying the tree model and changing it's animation to one that makes the tree transparent.

Where did you see this before?

Trees are destructibles, which allows you to use them in triggers. You could make a trigger that picks, say, all trees on the map, check if a peon is close to it, and make it transparent or not, depending if theres a peon.

I cannot find any actions related to destructibles being transparent, care to elaborate?

I just made a quick search, and it seems like you can't change vertex coloring on destructables. My bad, I could've sworn it was possible.

this is stupid solution but i was surprised i know at least one way.

Yes it is a pretty..uh.. ghetto i guess editor, but if you select doodads then there are your options. in order to get the right doodad you have to go to object editor and find the ID of it. just press CTRL+D and it shows raw data. once you place it save the game (you shouldn't have normal wceditor up btw) then close it, open your map, and you can mess around with it.

not the best solution, but for trigger noobs like me it works.
hope that helped.

edit: just realized this will happen if they are behind it i think. not really sure but mess with it if you want. make sure you clicked "no collision".

You're going to have to be a lot more specific to be of any help.
I don't see any options, let alone anything about no collision.
BTW I'm using JNGP is there no easy way to do this, I don't mind triggers.

Must I repeat myself?

it's called "non-solid" and im not sure what "normal" does.

ok I got it to work kind of...hardly....
The only way It is working is if I place all the trees with W3ZME and if I save in the normal editor afterward, they all get reset and I must go back in W3ZME and select each one, one by one... Is there no select all (ctrl+shift+~) like in WE? Regardless it seems too painful to have to replace ALL trees every single time you need to make a change in your map....
Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong.. Anyone else used this?



After inspected that D&D map a bit more and it seems their system acts differently, it fades before a unit is even blocked by it, and also it fades to a more transparent state. And it does fade from south-west facing, something I have not noticed normal occlusion doing yet.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
