I understand that there are other ways to do this, like use LOS blocking doodads underneath the doodad. I don't really feel this is very efficient with the amount of LOS blocking doodads I would need.
Here is where I am so far, I am in the data editor, I have the doodad selected I need, the object explorer view is open and I have selected the doodad's footprint. I understand that I may need to dupicate the footprint so that other doodads that rely on this one are not effected. So, let's assume I have done that, from here:
1-How do I change which footprint is assigned to the doodad? And,
2-How do I alter the footprint to block LOS?
Please be very specific if you can answer this. I have found a few other posts with a similar question and the answers have often been so general(like, "Just make the footprint block LOS...").
1 - In the Actor tab, find your doodad's actor. Then find on the right, "Actor: footprint" and change it to what you want.
2 -In the Footprint tab, select your footprint.
Then click "Layers". In the window, select "Placement Apply" in the Layer dropbox. Then Define Sets. Check "Block Vision". Do same thing for "Placement Check".
I need a doodad's 5x5 footprint to block vision.

Curse Premium1 - In the Actor tab, find your doodad's actor. Then find on the right, "Actor: footprint" and change it to what you want.

Then click "Layers". In the window, select "Placement Apply" in the Layer dropbox. Then Define Sets. Check "Block Vision". Do same thing for "Placement Check".
Your footprint now blocks vision.
