Editor and LOS

Post by enric »

As I'm not in EA (hopefully I do not need a PC on my desktop anymore :D, just a iMac), I could not test the new editor.

One of the features lacking in BA 1 is that when doing a map you cannot check the LOS between tiles. This gives you a lot of issues later as you are surprised because a building is not blocking LOS or, two building in diagonal allow a vehicle to pass through but not the LOS. So the editor should have the option to select a unit, and check LOS from it, say "1" key.

Is already in the new editor?

There isn't any specific way to test for tile to tile LOS, no. You can use the H key to toggle and reset the LOS view in the editor though (as you can in BA1). So you could pop down a unit to test out LOS in that way.
