Occlusion height and transparent trees

After enabling Occlusion with EnableOcclusion[BJ] it doesn't kick in when units get near trees (trees should become transparent says the hint). Destructables have some field occlusion height and units have something called occluder height(0 by default) or something. So how does those things actually work together? (I want to see some transparent trees =)!!)

Occlusion/Occluder height is just the height of the unit. If a unit has a higher occluder height than a tree, the unit can see past the tree without any sight blocking. It doesn't make the tree invisible, if that's what you're looking for.

Ok. Makes sense.

But under Camera or Cinematic trigger category there is a trigger action called Enable Occlusion. There is tip that says that this makes trees transparent when they block sight of units. I've seen it in action but I can't replicate it.


Edit:
hmm It actually doesn't make sense. I made a unit(footman) with 1000 occluder height and a tree with 1 occlusion height but the trees were able to block sight. Only if the trees had 0 occlusion height they didn't block sight.

Then I'm sorta lost. But are you sure that the Enable/Disable Occlusion function is responsible for turning the trees transparent? Or were they just removed/hidden?

No but the tip under this trigger action says so(unless it's missleading). It doesn't make them fully transparent/invisible but something like 50% or something it's like when you try to place a tree/destructable in the editor it is sorta transparent but not fully then when you place it it is 100% visible(not transparent).

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
