Must see explosions with no line of sight tag

[Noruas]

I think the custom explosion generator is missing the this feature
LOS=1;
LOS=0;
If LOS is 0, or not default that means you can see this explosion without line of sight enabled, because i made a very big special effect and it looks bad if the player sees a piece of it!

Look at these pictures, if anything could survive a nuke it still wouldn't get to see this entire picture, and then it looks bad. because instead of seeing all of it, they see 1 third of a big ball of fire!

Um, there is a tag that makes it visible whether or not you have LOS. I just didn't end up using it in NanoBlobs, because of performance concerns.

umm if you can tell me in private messages, i will get this request deleted.


useAirLos=1; ??

useAirLos=1 will work, but I'm pretty sure that there's a setting that ignores LOS altogether (only works for some FX, however). I think it's just IgnoreLos=1, but I need to search the source / old revisions of NB when I get home- as I said, I ended up not thinking it was worth using, tbh.

The effects I derived from Nanoblobz's data files are always visible if the center of the effect is in ALOS so it's never half visible, always all or nothing.

Thats a really nice nuke explosion you have done! Im really looking forward to knowing what the always visible tag is!

Is that explosion still work in progress, or can i find the necessary files to use it somewhere ?
