Line of sight
Revision as of 00:15, 13 May 2006 by Ethereal Cereal (talk | contribs)
All units, both X-Com and alien, have a line of sight. A unit's line of sight encompasses any objects or other units which are:
- Within visible range (21 spaces during the day, 7 at night (possibly fewer?))
- Not blocked by terrain or other units
- Within the unit's field of vision
All units have a 90 degree field of vision, radiating outward in a cone in whichever direction they are facing.
[This article still needs diagrams of field of vision for units facing along the grid as well as diagonally -- can you see to your immediate left, or only diagonal left? Also need diagrams of LOS around corners/beyond roofs.]
