Splash particles are visible in fog of war.

To see it setup a game like this:

map conflict:
you on slot 0 team0
cpu-ultra on slot 2 team1
cpu-ultra on slot 3 team2

now look to the place where teh two CPU players are . As they are close to each other they will instantly see each other and start to fight adn you see all teh splash particles in the dark...

Hm, ok, I think these particles were needed for damage calculation and thats why they are shown.
If this is the case, would it be an option to just don't render those particles ? SO calculation yes, render no.

I have added some code (but commented out the actual non rendering). What is the unit is not visible but the particle should be visible because it is a projectile? The current code i have hides the particle of the unit is hidden from view (thus it is commented out).

I'm not sure there is an easy solution for this.
