Hello

I want a unit not to be able to see stuff behind him, only in front of it (certainly relative to where the unit is looking)... is it possible?

It does not seem to be possible to edit a units sight into an arc. If this is possible through some other means (triggers or something) it would be very difficult.



None.

If you can move a sight blocker like the grass/smoke from vanilla sc2 with triggers and place it behind the hero every frame, you might be able to do something. Otherwise I dunno.



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Maybe you can just move a region in front of the unit which provides vision.

I feel dumb for not doing this before, I was trying to hard to make it arc like. Here is a demo map where a unit can only ever see in front of itself. I'm working on something a little better as well.

Edit: Slightly better version attached.

Not sure because I do not have access to the editor yet, but I believe you've just solved the Problem #13.

Oh_Man -- SEN is kinda like, a place wher u can be pretty much gauranteed u talking to a millenial, prob born around the early 1990s, its like a time capsule

Still going.. strong is debatable though.

WeirdoX4857 -- I can't believe this is really been around since 2003 but it does look classic and old asf still better than talking to kids on discord ranting about skibidi toilet and sexuality or whatever mental illness is going on in their heads
