[ABANDONED] Which trees block AI vision
By Crazy-AK47
This guide is dedicated for map makers.
I've encountered maps that have ton of foliage but creator don't take into account that AI can see through vast majority of trees. So, in the end you die because you don't see AI at all but Ai can clearly see you whenever you hide in the bush.
To avoid this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ here's this guide what trees and bushes you should use when making forests or dense tree areas.

Enviroment section
In map editor there's an tool that allows you to place multiple pros with he use of brush. This tool is restricted to "Enviroment" section which allows you to place trees, bushes and rocks without placing them manually one by one.
Trees height changes the scale of the prop, is it's set at 1x then trees (or rocks) will have a size (scale) from 0,8 to 1,2
I reccomend using 4th brush but remember that this tool isn't ideal and when some tree props are collinding you must move them manually.
Because rocks are blocking the vision, they are skipped in this guide.
Before you start making forest
Anything that blocks AI vision impacts framerate performance. If your area isn't really utilized during the battle, then scrap some trees.
1000 palms will not hit perfomance as much as 1000 Pine trees
