xian Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Does CM2 use LOS based on what you see on the map or is it abstracted? I have noticed that, although I can see clearly through a building which has lost its walls, my troops cannot (not even a grey line). This seems a bit odd, as they should have a clear view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny(FGM) Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 LOS shouldn't be abstracted. Sometimes it can give dodgy results against buildings as LOS is calculated from/to the centre of the buildings, so even if your troops can spot 1 edge of a building if they cant plot LOS to the centre you cant order them to target it (altho if they spot a unit they can and will shoot at it) Could you provide screenshots? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yes... here is the screenshot of the view from my infantry unit. You can clearly see through the building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Wel, the screenshot was there but now there seems to be a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Just because the exterior walls have been knocked down doesn't mean you should have an unobstructed view through a building. The building is still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 I agree, but then the LOS line should be grey. It is clear to see from the image that some of the squad must have a clear view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Holes in walls and interior walls are abstracted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
