[help] fog of war scripting?

Hi Guys, I have been looking through the API coding abd i didnt see anything that could help. Is there any way to target the fog of war? ie: reveal an area, see if an area is hidden. I am trying to make a script that will automatically reveal an area around an object.

Hi Stephanie, I was curious about your question so I spent some time poking around various commands that give lists of all objects in the campaign and trying to track changes to those. Except for it being on and off, I don't see any way that fog of war is tracked on the server, at least not accessible to the API. It's obviously tracked somewhere, but I can't find it. Chad

If you use dynamic lighting instead of the fog of war, you could turn off/on the light via the API.

Or change the graphic source file to a solid black JPG.. maybe haven't tried that.

Just as an extra bit of background, I have a mini map set up with the dynamic lighting so my players can see where they have been. I was hoping to have the minimap auto expose as they moved.

I have been experimenting with having the rooms move from GM to Map layer as the players move onto them. Seems to work well as long as you know the dimentions of the rooms and the room names.

Chad Thanks Chad, I had been looking as well, and I could see any references. i was hoping it might besomething that was new and just hadnt been added to the API wiki.
