I just noticed that the Line of sight detects objects that are solids but it never worked like this before.

I traced Releases back to r157 its when the changed was made till the last Beta r196.2

I would say this is a bug but not sure if it been intentionally changed as its been many releases like this

Solid obstacles are there to block the line of sight to another object not itself.

On Construct 2 it never worked like this, it blocks the objects that are solids swell which makes sense as they are solid anyway

You can test it here:

I can't see a problem with that. The obstacle's purpose is to act as a wall blocking line of sight to another object. If you want to for some reason check if you have line of sight of an obstacle object then why not.

How else would you expect the Solid behavior to work with Los?

Edit:

Looked at the C2 Los demo.

Pretty sure this was a known filtering issue.

C2 is whats broke.

Always was will be now.

Its been like this on c2 at least for the last 2 years+ at least because I made some logic Events around that and it made sense to me if something its Solid line of sight cannot go thru as its solid like a rock you cannot pass a laser or things like that.

But at the same time is not like it has to be like that if they tell me that it works the opposite then it's fine for me also, I'm used to a lot by design things so one more doesn't make any difference, I just need to change events, the thing is that has been changed and didn't see any notes or something like that, or the bug has been forever there on C2 and no one reported.

In any case, if its a bug I will open a bug if it's not then it's all good.
