I have a veterency system in which units gain levels and when they gain levels it will create a text tag above their head representing their current level. The text tags are all created through the data editor; specifically creating "text" actors that will create/destroy depending on unit level. It works perfectly fine, except that the text tag doesn't "hide" itself when the fog of war covers the units. In other words, if enemy units have veterency levels you can follow them in the fog of war, watching their text tag level go around while their unit is invisible.
Before you ask, I've already gone into the fog settings for the actors and set them to "hidden" and it doesn't work! I have no idea why it wouldn't hide the actor when I have "hidden" selected for the text actors. Does anyone know how this might be fixed or what needs to be done?
I would like to know the answer to this question too. I've been tampering with it for about an hour now, and I plan on working on it today to try and find a work-around/solution. I'll let you know if I find anything!
Hi, I was having a similar problem with this, and noticed a couple of (two) threads asking the same question, but none with a really conclusive answer. Anyway, in case others were still having issues with this, I think the solution is as follows:
create text tag
enable text tag fog of war
set text tag fog visibility to fog
hope this helps
