Quick Question ...

Now I don't know if this is easy or not but I can't seem to figure it out. ^^; I think it's a pretty simple question.
I don't know if anyone has played the map or not, but the effect I want is like what you see in Shade Defense. I can't seem to find that map so I can't look up the triggers and all. But what I mean is like .. you still have vision of you and your allies but there's this small section of the map(in this case the very right edge) where the fog is permenantly unexplored so you can stack on this small portion but still see your probe on the left side.
I don't really need all that, I'm just asking, is there a way to leave a portion of a map permenantly in fog but still have vision of you and your allies?



None.

Lol, it's simple, none of you have vision to yourselves, there's like one computer that's giving you guys all your vision.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

You can't turn off the vision to yourself only in a part of the map. Either all of your units give you vision or none.
Falk already presented you the solution out of this misery. ;)

Ah, yes, ok. Just shoulda thought of it backwards then! I knew it was a simple solution, I don't know why I couldn't think of it. Haha, but thanks.



None.

Well, actually, You could have a computer see part of your unit force, (by map revealer or what not) and then not see the other part, so its not ALL or none....

Yep, i know. Changed the phrasing for better understanding what I actually meant.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
