Line of sight is behaving oddly #51

Open cbaggers opened 5 years ago

Describe the bug This is a second hand bug report so it's probably missing a lot of info, however here goes.

They were having issues with the visual distance, in this example, the slime can't see another monster that should be next to the door 0

then here when the creature moves 1 tile, then you can suddenly see him. here

Objects like tables or benches should probably not block visual occlusion

Side note, the lack of curved rooms mean more square rooms which exacerbates the problem.

slight improvements with multiple casts but this is a hack really.. needs a better scheme.

We might push this as a way to ease the pain for folks but I'm not stoked about it

Another issue from a user. Let's see if we can recreate this and see if the new hacks help

Perhaps its just the slime that makes it feel different but all counters are blocking sight for me. screenshot 30 (above) PC beside bar no barkeep screenshot 31 (above) PC behind bar = barkeep

And this may be a different issue entirely but to give more info... this might be a sight issue PC view at top of stairs screenshot 32 (above) PC at top of stairs cannot see terrain to move to. still viewing 1st floor. screenshot 33 (above) GM view 2nd floor

Another Image this one shows PC standing on the stairs looking down over the room still cannot see the barkeep. screenshot 41

5 more screenshot 45 (above) after using alt to rotate i can see both sides of the bar screenshot 43 (above) Stepping onto bar from left leaves barkeep showing screenshot 46 (above) stepping up from the right leave patrons showing barkeep hidden. screenshot 47 (above) walking along the bar towards the pitcher, removes even more patrons from view. screenshot 48 (above) Notice the bar maid who was hidden in all images

Thanks @BlappoSpawn these are very helpful. As you suspected the 'floor not appearing' issue is a separate bug. The next update will probably include my line of sight tweaks so we can see how well or poorly this scene is handled once that is out!
