Help with Topology / Fog of War Conflict

Post by Squee_47 »

Hello,
First, apologies if this has been answered already. I've been searching for some clues, but haven't come up with anything. The specific problem that I'm facing seems to be a conflict between the topology layer and FOW working together. (Maybe too well?) I have players entering a walled courtyard, in which are light sources and several statues. I have the statues filled in as ovals with the topology tool, which allows them to cast great shadow effects and hide nasty orcses quite well, however, players can't actually see the statue! FOW covers it no matter what side they are on. How do I reveal the statue, but keep it as an obstacle to the light source? Thanks for any suggestions.

Take a look here for previous discussion. Post #5 (I think) has the solution: use an "X" instead of a circle.

Thank you Azhrei. I figured I wasn't the only one with the problem. I've been lurking around here for a couple months now, so I'm sure I'll have quite a few more questions / things for discussion.
