nashash Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 hi, when i'm in a game , i am following a tank and for some reason it disappears and i know he is still moving cause i see trees being knocked over by an invisible tank, they do reappear and disapear, infantry men will do the same , is there a tweak i can do to solve this.

Madmatt Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 That sounds like the unit you are following with camera is moving in and out of your line of sight. If your friendly units can't physically "see" a target, the camera won't display it, but the game does still show tree's being knocked over as the vehicle drives over them.

SlapHappy Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Nashash There is a "Fog of War" switch which can be toggled off in the scripting process, if that's what you mean. But then you can, of course, always see the enemy troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashash Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 i will try this, how do i find this Fog of war Switch, where is this scripting process, thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHappy Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 You have to open the mission in the mission editor and use this command switch in the init file: </font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> ChangeFogOfWar ( "Disable" )</pre> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashash Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 i'm looking in the mission editor and i see that it is already disable, this is what it says ChangeFogOfWar ( "Disable" ) Delay ( "120000" ) is there another place i can get your "Halftrack Assault" mission, i registered at cmmods.com but when i go to login it brings up my admin window, is this normal cause i've never seen a login like that before, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHappy Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 What is the name of the mission you brought up in the editor? It is possible that the Fog of War gets turned off during a cinematic and then turned back on when the game actually starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashash Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 thru the mission editor it's missions/single_missions/Mortain also it's under triggers/mission_win i don't see it in Init Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlapHappy Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Put the ChangeFogofWar command as the first command in the INIT Trigger. I just played the whole mission with full view of the enemy forces. ....And still lost. The Mortain mission is ridiculously hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
