Post Custom Activities help
I want to add fog of war to some activities like Brain Vs. Brain. I have a copied version of B v B and I don't know where to put it. I found the code from the Endless Skirmish Fog, but I don't know where to put the code in my new one. In CC it says end expected near <aoc> (not that, just a rough memory of what it was). How do I add fog of war the the activity?

There is probably an 'end' missing somewhere. Try copying this code (from endless skirmish):
Code:
         -- Add fog
         if not self.Fog then
            self.Fog = true   -- only run once
            
            for player = Activity.PLAYER_1, Activity.MAXPLAYERCOUNT - 1 do
               if self:PlayerActive(player) and self:PlayerHuman(player) then
                  SceneMan:MakeAllUnseen(Vector(25, 25), self:GetTeamOfPlayer(player))
               end
            end
            
            if self.CPUTeam ~= Activity.NOTEAM then
               SceneMan:MakeAllUnseen(Vector(65, 65), self.CPUTeam)
            end
            
            for Act in MovableMan.AddedActors do
               if Act.ClassName ~= "ADoor" then
                  for ang = 0, math.pi*2, 0.15 do
                     SceneMan:CastSeeRay(Act.Team, Act.EyePos, Vector(30+FrameMan.PlayerScreenWidth*0.5, 0):RadRotate(ang), Vector(), 1, 5)
                  end
               end
            end
            
            for Act in MovableMan.Actors do
               if Act.ClassName ~= "ADoor" then
                  for ang = 0, math.pi*2, 0.15 do
                     SceneMan:CastSeeRay(Act.Team, Act.EyePos, Vector(30+FrameMan.PlayerScreenWidth*0.5, 0):RadRotate(ang), Vector(), 1, 5)
                  end
               end
            end
         end


And add it below this line in BvsB:
Code:
if self.ActivityState ~= Activity.OVER and self.ActivityState ~= Activity.EDITING then

I recently did something similar but wanted to also add fog of war during the build mode before you start by also calling a surface scan, but I still have yet found out how to call that. Any help?

You can just move the "Add fog" part from UpdateActivity to StartActivity and add this code:
Code:
  for x = 0, SceneMan.SceneWidth, 25 do
    for team = 0, 4 do
      SceneMan:CastSeeRay(team, Vector(x, 0), Vector(0, SceneMan.SceneHeight), Vector(), 1, 5)
   end
  end

It will do a scan similar to the meta-game, but instantaneously instead of a slow sweep.

Thank you so much, this has worked very well, even better then it taking time like a scan.
