"Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
As i have introduced this phenomenon (a wall that is infinite=reaches the ceiling, like being in a room or in a cave see here: viewtopic.php?f=216&t=7627&start=60#p135676)
we need to talk about which tiles will get it.
In my original plan was these tiles/"unit tiles" in AOS and AOF:
unit layer tiles: terrain layer tiles: but i am afraid of current already in game maps.
what do u think is there any map that will get "ruined" if we turn on "infinite wall" on these tiles? or they are already used like such walls (i think in most cases yes) so no problem we set it - only problem can be if the map got impossible without shooting over these walls.
so what u think?
(now i talk about only AOF and AOS, in other alternatives we will check later)

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
In aof specifically:
Tiles related — yes we will get many maps ruined with it.
That tile in many cases does not represent infinitely tall wall.
Regarding unit type walls:
Yes it also might affect some maps in not that good way — for example Khebesiris Borderlands Huge map (40x40) and labyrinth maps (those use cave walls a lot and it will break quite heavily gameplay for ranged races like elves and undeads).

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
if anonye volunteers to check if these maps might have problem if the cave walls turn to non overshotable or over "spellable" would be awesome - if not i will run tru them.
remark: in AOF they are currently like that.
thanks!

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
Is this in AoS dev version?
Green is the correct color, other colors are "less correct".

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
not yet, also in AOS no unit is set to be that (so caves are not yet set there)
you need it for some reason, or you would check the maps when it is already set?

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
Would be just for checking, but since it isn't applied to any unit yet it doesn't make sense right now. I can't test in AoF because I don't have its dev version (and wouldn't make sense for me to have it, since I don't even play the public version lol)Stratego (dev) wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 3:15 pm not yet, also in AOS no unit is set to be that (so caves are not yet set there)

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
having pounded these maps to death (just speaking from AoF), i highly support the change for all 3 tiles
most brick walls are used as rooms and thus are essentially broken *now* - shire, mansion, abandoned city for example will function as designed
labyrinth included: its so open its actually a bit boring when cave walls only stop mvmt, at least now some strategy is involved otherwise its no different than a redecorated forest map
if there's any that "break" they can be very easily edited
im about to check each map for the cliff fix anyway, if interested i could give you a full report by friday at the latest

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
However, it would then be nice to have a wall tile that actually *is* just a wall. for instance an unattackable version of castle wall or similar would be wonderful (without player color shield)

Also, aside from not being able to attack through them, could we also be able to not see through them?

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
Can there be a limit to it?
Like only an x amount of range will this affect... So finally, walls can have this.

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
range? what u mean?
Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
If the walls can, instead of reducing range by 100% (not allowing units to shoot through them), reduce it by a lower percentage, or maybe a set amount, so that units would have less range when attacking through an obstacle with that spec action.

1 -- I found no MULTIPLAYER maps to be ruined (this includes the brick tile also)Stratego (dev) wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 7:34 amyou mean they are all (AOF campaign maps) working fine after the change?having pounded these maps to death
"working fine" is a matter if opinion, like maka says there is a major change to Khebesiris and Labyrinth. My opinion is it is an improvement
so i am saying several maps WILL change, but that is neither bad nor unfixable
2 -- determining if CAMPAIGN and scenario maps are affected will take much longer, several are already broken so that should not affect your decision. again, quick fixes
however we need then a *finite* normal wall also available
Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
I'm sorry i dont like this, walls are solid objects
Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
When I say "thru" what I mean is "over". Also I'm just explaining what Dre is asking (although I got it wrong), I don't think that can be coded easily.

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
Like, let's say if units are 1 tile away from walls they can't be hit nor hit using arrows coming from the other side.

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
not yet, any in-between cases are not yet in and maybe only in unity version will be.
this is ONLY for the "room" like or "in-cave" like walling where the wall reaches the ceiling - i called it infinite wall.

Re: "Infinite tall" wall and cave wall
i see, maybe i shuld order the start and end locations so the result will be the same this case?
like ordering to start with top-left closer point of the line to draw to the other point?

That would solve this issue, but wouldn't be intuitive at all for players trying to know from where they can shoot.Stratego (dev) wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 4:16 pm i see, maybe i shuld order the start and end locations so the result will be the same this case?
