Oh okay. You shouldn't be able to attack that then. Even if you're sure an enemy is there. The only way to do that is to make your skill target tiles rather than enemies.


The no_line_of_sight thing is more for when you can see an opponent, but there's something between you that would normally stop you from seeing them. I.e a target in a wooded area that a soldier of yours can see, but trees may stop an artillery piece of yours from seeing. If your artillery's weapon is set to no_line_of_sight, it can still fire as long as some unit of yours can see it an enemy and it is in range. Does that make sense?

No, it'll say "unseen."

Okay, but can you see the enemy by moving the cursor over that tile at
the time? When you move your cursor over that tile, is it unseen? Or can
you see it? And can the enemy see or attack you?

Not quite...I have use_unseen set in my default map pack file. Is that
why?
I have the skill set to no_line_of_sight, and I know exactly where a
unit is because I use the shift+p thing, but when I try to use the
skill it says there's nobody there.
I also tried locking an enemy in a one-tile room and then targeting
them through the door--which blocks sight--and couldn't do that
either, even though there's nowhere for them to go at that point.

Sorry, I meant how I recreate the bug.

I've just tried what I think will recreate the bug, going by your
description. So, if you've got a skill that's no_line_of_sight and can
see the enemy, when you cast it, you're unable to?

I just tried it and I can use a skill as long as I can see the enemy. Am
I missing anything?

Make which part happen?
Sorry, I'm a bit confused here due to my own two conflicting messages.

Hmm. Sounds like a bug to me. How do I make this happen? If I can do
that then I can fix it up.

Wait, derp. Ignore that previous message, I totally messed up what I

I'm being attacked through the wall. That's fine, the skill is
supposed to do that. But I can't attack with a skill that also has
no_line_of_sight. I know where the unit is, but I can't hit it
because
it says there's nobody there. Is that just because of the
use_unseen/use_unexplored settings?

Hello,

I think I mentioned before that I'm somehow being attacked through
the
walls even though I shouldn't be, right?
Well, I also have it set so that the terrain is not_flyable and
blocks_sight. It seems, though, that once I get a flying unit the
blocks_sight thing is ignored and I can shoot my opponents back
through the wall. Is this intentional? If so, could you add another
version of the blocks_sight flag that will also block flying units
from seeing/attacking through a particular unit/structure/terrain?
