I made a custom unit and I want it to be visible through the fog of war (gray mask). I set it to Snapshot, and the snapshot actor to Snapshot. I even put the Structure flag to On, just in case it could be related. But nothing. Once a unit is far from it, it disappears. I want it to be still visible like a building.
It is possible the model just can't do it ? I tried many things with no results.
Hello,
I made a custom unit and I want it to be visible through the fog of war (gray mask). I set it to Snapshot, and the snapshot actor to Snapshot. I even put the Structure flag to On, just in case it could be related. But nothing. Once a unit is far from it, it disappears. I want it to be still visible like a building.
It is possible the model just can't do it ? I tried many things with no results.
@bliztar: Go
I believe thats an actor setting...
but if its a unit that can move.... I dont believe its possition will update when seen through the fog of war.
@SouLCarveRR: Go
No it can't move. I don't know what actor setting it is. I thought it was Snapshot but that just won't do it.
Did you try... the "visible" check where the "snapshot" check is?
@scmapcritic: Go
Yes, with the visible check, the unit still disappears.
No matter what model I put. The unit still disappears.
So it seems it's a bug. A really annoying one. I'm lost.
UI - Fog Visibility
Set this to "Visible".
This was suggested above already, and this is the solution to your problem. Just thought I'd try making it clearer.
@Eiviyn: Go
Ok I see what you mean after checking.
There is a fog visibility field on the UNIT too. Not just the ACTOR....
So that's it. I had to set it on the unit AND the actor...
Thank you. I don't know why they had to put the field on both.
