Can "Things" block monster line of sight?

[HQDefault]

I just wanted to ask if there was a decorate tag for having certain obstacles like trees, pillars, etc block monster line of sight so they don't try to shoot you through them. I sifted through the ZDoom wiki but couldn't find anything on it, but I figured I'd ask just in case I missed something

No, monster line of sight can only be blocked by map geometry. They can detect the player just fine through things, even if the player's view is completely blocked.

What you could do (maybe, I haven't tested it) is to surround the things' bounding boxes with 2S linedefs and mark them with the "blocks monster sight" flag, which is available in ZDoom map formats.

That's been my band-aid solution. I just wanted to see if there was another option because doing it manually is kinda tedious.
