Multiple Fog Clearers
Do fog clearers have a limit of one? The first one displays fine (meaning you can't see it at all), but any others I add to my cutscene will appear with an ellipse and a green ball. There's a move_unit in there and it really doesn't look good without multiple fog clearers.
EDIT: After taking a closer look at the macro, I don't think the [hide_unit] tag is working properly.

Re: Multiple Fog Clearers
Doesn't the presence of an ellipse and orb mean it's a friendly fog clearer on the player's side? Perhaps you should only be using hostile enemy fog clearers. I wonder if you're not getting the side set correctly for your extra clearers. Possibly an oversight in the fog clearer macro? Setting the correct side should remove the orb, but I'm not sure what else you could do about the ellipse, however.

Enemy fog clearers, like the enemy, are invisible in the fog.

Re: Multiple Fog Clearers
It's a bug. Move the two clear_variables from CLEAR_FOG to UNCLEAR_FOG. The one for fog_clearer_i at least.
I've reported it btw.

Re: Multiple Fog Clearers
You're right, moving those tags to the other macro fixed it perfectly. Thanks!
