Good evening lads. I’m trying to implement this to work in a 2.5 D platformer I’m creating. What logic would you approach this with if you only wanted this to work within buildings or certain areas basically in order to hide the contents of the rooms you’re not in, but still be able to maintain view distance outside of buildings or through house windows?

7thNoodle,

The FOW-effect is applied through a post-process-volume. In the tutorial it says you should apply to an unbounded PP-volume, but there’s nothing keeping you from using bounded volumes. The main obstacle to use this FOW-solution for a platformer is that it’s written to to visibility checks and render the effect in the Z-plane. Assuming your platformer is some kind of side-scroller you’d have to rewrite the solution to be axis-independent in order for it to work outside the Z-plane.

Cheers,
