Fog of war and shroud effects?

by Johnathan Moore · in RTS Starter Kit · 10/21/2006 (2:21 pm) · 1 replies

Hey, does anyone know any way to dull or black out certain areas of the map for fog of war. This would not only have to effect the terrain but objects aswell (buildings and foilage).

And of course affect server side, not to send to the clients, to prevent anyone from hacking it. Thats a problem in some games, some people doing anything to win, and that ruining the game for the rest.

Can we host the game on one server, and then let other people join in, all players client? You'd just have to create an entity that had no units at all, other than one invisible one, who then self destructed and died whenever there was only one other opponent left.
