LoS issues - Mine or FGU?

[jharp]

I have several issues with LoS and I don't know if there is an unwritten rule I am violating or if these are issues in FGU.

Issue one - The lines are closed but LoS seems to display a gap in the top right:

Issue 2 is on the same LoS setup. The campaign is in the zip below. Note this is a secret door.

If these are my fault, I'm fine with that but please tell me the rule I'm violating so I can avoid it in the future. If this is a FGU issue please let me know you will fix it in short order.

Thanks,

Try removing the extra points from the overlaps; as these are probably interacting in unexpected ways.

We are aware of a few scenarios where the LoS does not work right; but they are typically related to overlapping LoS sections and not easy to fix.

I've actually managed to reduce it to a non-overlap and I still get the first issue. Likely I can reproduce issue 2 as well but I have to try that still. I'll repost the campaign shortly.

Issues 1 and 2 reproduced without overlap.

Another question. If overlaps are undesirable, then is there a way to select a particular point at a location that has more than one type at that point. So a wall point and secret wall point ending at the same coord? It seems to be the last/first point at the coord that gets selected.

No, selection can only be done point-by-point, via selection, or by double-clicking to select all points in a single occluder. You'd have to move the ones out of the way, if you need to delete points on top of each other.

However, I am talking more about the occluders overlapping, than being edge to edge.
See the ones circled in yellow in attached image.

Understood. In my updated post #4 i removed the overlap but the issues remain.

Can you post the latest data with all the changes you have made so far, and a pointer to the issue in question.

Also, why did your user name change?

Moon,

I still have both issues even after removing overlaps. Attached is a stripped down campaign that can demonstrate both issues.

Issue #1 -54342

Issue #2 - 54343

Campaign file is attached. As to my username change, I have multiple licenses. Normally, I would only use this account but I was out of town.

It looks like #1 and #2 is either the same or similar issue as you posted as #4 in a separate thread. Is it different somehow, other than how you drew it?

It could be. Issue #4 (in a separate thread) was drawn by hand and wasn't from a real campaign.

Moon,

I suspect Issues #1 and #2 are mine. I failed to follow the example of how the <closed /> tag affected the points you need to enumerate. I had a zero length line from end-pt to end-pt.

Issues #3,4,5 are still valid since I created them entirely in FGU.

Sorry for the non-issue.
