Ennemy Line Of Sight bug ? (video)

[Erforce]

Hello folks, i read here and there that buildings and trees do not break line of sight.

 

I'm ok for trees, as it's only a sprite, but for buildings, i already stated that it has saved my life in deployment campaign.

 

i've done a quick vid about a Roland's line of sight.

It can see me, then i hide behing a building, and he forgets me.

No problem so far. so what can you say about it ?

Not sure what you are reporting as a bug here?

 

Buildings and terrain block LOS. Trees do not. It's been that way for as long as i can remember.

 

The video is quite amusing if you think about the guy in the Roland, though. He's probably blue in the face from swearing at you so much...lol.

[Erforce]

Hehe, i just wanted some feedback if any of you has a proof that current version broke building line of sight.

Actually, i have no problem with it, so i won't report it as a bug.

 

Came here for intel only ;)

So does it work anymore or not? Did a patch break it or what? Sorry I didn't completely understand. :)

It looks like (in true computer-like fashion) the LOS is calculated from the radar dish, but the missile (being lower) hits the building, ie the Roland AI doesn't comprehend that even though he can see you, his missiles will never hit you.

 

Is that what you're saying?

Great demonstration, thanks.

 

If that's the latest version you are using in the vid then it appears to be working, thanks for pointing it out. I'll have to try this out for myself with the Clear Tkvarcheli mission, trying to evade being hit by a missile is a real challenge there. I'm sure they have updated this mission from BS1 where it used to be fairly easy.

Yeah buildings block line of sight, and I believe its been that way for a while now. Trees on the other hand are a different matter and they don't block LOS.

[Feuerfalke]

Trees don't block LOS.

However, AFAIK they limit the chance of detection and decrease accuracy.

Non clipping trees and buildings not breaking AI line of sight

 

 

....pretty big problem for a combat heli sim seeing as building and terrain masking is a standard tactic and not running in to shit like trees and powerlines is a major objective for all missions...

 

 

...high hopes for "edge" here.....

 

I read this in BaD CrC 1.2.4 12547 lol thread.

I think i've read this elsewhere too, not in BS section.

 

thank you for your feedback.

 

About the MIM-115 not hitting me there's some reason :

- Yes, its sensor height is higher than its actual launcher

- I'm deep into its min range. (Roland is deadly between 1.5 - 8km )

- Roland is bugged (but shhhhhh, it's a secret, my guide is not ready yet) (it ignore minimum range and... has unlimited ammo :D)

 

But IMHO, trees does nothing at all. i've been shot throught trees many times.

 

OP Question solved, thank you again.

=> Patch did not break Building line of sight

=> You can safely hide behind a building

 

But be warned, SAM need direct line of sight. It's no the case about shells.

In another scenario where i'm playing tank versus Cruiser (boats), Cruiser tried to kill me even if i was behind a building (ohh that poor building, so much civilan casualties ;) )

Very funny video Erforce. Kind of Monty Python style with this somehow absurd situation (I'm here, I'm not, I'm here....not....)
