camoflauge

[KingsRevenge]

Will there be a camoflauge aspect in teh game that if your unit is in a shadow or blending well with something a certain level of transparency will happen so that the unit won't be seen as easily?

[Auxarius]

Dunno, but it would TOTALLY OWN if enemies wouldn't see our units in shadows as easily as in middle of the street. Besides of that i wonder if soldiers will see in radius of some meters or if they will only see things that are in front of their eyes (so they would have to turn thier heads to see what's on left, right to be sure they can cross street etc;)

[KingsRevenge]

Yea, hopefully it'll be possible since you guys have this "Hi-Tech FPS" rendering engine :) Some simple transparency would be nice :) or some way to realisticly make the view of units be a bit difficult based on their surroundings.

I DO know that if your units are garrisoned in a building, the building will not declare that it is occupied by boldly displaying the revealing colors. I don't know if units hiding behind cars will be invisible, I don't think so though, b/c this is not a FPS.

[Slacky]

Not an FPS?!?! You lie sir!

Moving on.....

Camo would be cool and if they only had a seeing front radius thing then it would rule and go well with them not be able to see behind cars, Commandos (the game) style.

but I hope that it will not be as it was in zero hour.a blind best of the best ranger,can't see a stinger site that is a meter ahead of him ?

[Auxarius]

well yeah, i hope there won't be anything like building/units stealth like in generals cause it sucked hard.. they can be stealthed from satellite view or something like that but not from tanks/infantry only meters away.

All objects in the game (trees, buidlings, and even street furniture like cars, trash cans, roadsigns etc.) are fully destructible and DO block line of sight (updated on a per-frame basis), which opens up for very interesting tactics -- especially for units that can launch scout drones.

In addition, you can order infantry to crawl and/or ambush, which makes them near invisible to the enemy and gives them an attack bonus.

FINALLY!!!!! i have been waiting for a game which works on that sort of a basis Commandos or playing an FPS or a TPS was the closest you could get before, this game is turning out to be very good indeed, but it all depends on how it's aplied, the best ideas in the world can get ruined by a shoddy camera or stupid AI or bad application of things like how a stealth systems works (CNC:G).

sweet as a nut

[KingsRevenge]

What I'm trying to do is figure out how to FORCE my guys to hide behind a car or lean down next to a building.

[rojar_parit]

hehe you got the stealth button :D or the ambush one for the trees..... I just wish you could ambush from behind cars...

In the demo a couple of enemy vehicles destroyed a building I had infantry in up to a level where it was burning and my infantry couldn't enter it anymore. Is that the highest level of destruction a building can have or can you really destroy it (leaving nothing but a pile of debree ;))?

[BOMBLORD]

I guess yes.beacus in the demo you don't have any rockets, or something that can destroy buildings, but if the game is so realistical,it 95% that building will be fully destructible

[KingsRevenge]

And when your building gets destroyed your infantry get destroyed with it :( thats how I keep losing Jefferson.

[BOMBLORD]

if to tell you the thruth,I allways put jefferson out of the denger.I have plenty of canonfodders :biggringr and I don't want to lose the level so........ jeferson is allways out of combat.
