GameObject.IsVisible

[RahlRB]

Mastahg,

Can you give a little more detail on exactly what GameObject.IsVisible is supposed to tell us?

Specific questions that come to mind:

• Does this check Line of Sight?
• Does this check for things that are actually able to be seen within the game?
  • For example, would this return true on a mob that was locked behind a door?

For a little more context of what I'm looking for:

I'm looking at putting together a nice way of finding an enemy to target around me.

This is the code I have for searching for suitable targets:

var enemies = GameObjectManager.GetObjectsOfType<BattleCharacter>().Where(x => x.IsValid && x.IsVisible && x.IsAlive && x.IsTargetable && x.CanAttack);

I'm trying to determine if there are other filters I should add or if there are filters I should remove.

Thanks!

IsVisible checks if the object is invisible.

It's pretty useful for checking for timed nodes / ephemeral nodes
e.g. I use something like this as my conditional:

"Condition.IsTimeBetween(&NodeTime and GameObjectManager.GetObjectByObjectId(&NodeId and GameObjectManager.GetObjectByObjectId(&NodeId.IsVisible"

You should be using npcid. Objectids will change on zone.,restart, death, out ranging it, etc.
