How know the unit are in good spot without get into the mission?

Now we have more trees and this is becoming a problem to set in the right spot a ground unit, the SAMs even more hard.

 

If anybody here have tested make mission with the Steel Beasts editor. They have a option called LOS mode: https://goo.gl/images/uiQ6BJ This make the life so easy for ground units in the editor.

 

Do you know if maybe we have a similar option?

If you add the units manually in ME this should not be a problem as you can avoid placing them in the forest areas. If you want to spawn them automatically, your best bet would be to create some spawn zones which are not in forest areas (or building areas).

There are some spread trees they are not on the editor map. So even taking care of the map paint we can get the unit in the wrong spot. Mountains, buildings could be a problem too

There are script functions that can tell if a unit is on water or land. But we need it expanded to tell if in town (or building) or forest or whatever other information can be given. A request was made for a change by one of the mods.
