Door line of sight

[Zorop]

There is something really wrong about the door line of sight coding.
In the board game, if a hex has a corner with line of sight, it works. In this game, you can have half your hex with vision and still be unable to attack.

Do you have an image of one of the times it isn't working? It'll help to be able to tell why the game thinks there isn't line of sight.

It seems like you know, but to anyone ready this who doesn't, Gloomhaven uses corner-to-corner line of sight, so it doesn't matter if half of the hex has line of sight when the corners don't. This mainly affects when corners are on walls because they can't be used for starting, ending, or anywhere in-between.

If you run into the opposite (where you think there shouldn't be line of sight, but the game says there is), you can use the L key to see which lines the game thinks are okay.

Agree, they have problems with this. I've also been targeted through walls where there is not even close to two corners in line of sight, and the next turn I can't target that same enemy on the same hex.

Using the same rules as on the boardgame, i should have had vision. I dont have a screenshot but it was definitly weird.

Do it again. You know what hex you were working from, so do it again and show us.

Hold L over one of the hexes and move the mouse to the other one. It'll draw a line from every valid corner of the first hex to every valid corner of the second hex. If there's even one white line, that means there's line of sight.
