Flashlight {how to increase unit's vision?}

[A-Mexican-Taco]

So i have tried to make a flashlight to increase the units vision distance but i can't find a trigger or ability that will increase the units vision distance while the flashlight is in the inventory, help? Thanks!

You can make vision modifiers over the unit. Might not be as responsive as real LoS boost but still.

I also think there was some scope item ability which boosted LoS.

I know there was a scope too! but its not there anymore :\


EDIT ---> No i found it haha, but one problem. I can't edit the range that it adds :\

Try this.

• Item Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Goblin Night Scope
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point00[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) emitting Visibility from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to a radius of 500.00
    • Set Temp_ItemVisMod00[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created visibility modifier)

• ItemLost Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Goblin Night Scope
  • Actions
    • Visibility - Destroy Temp_ItemVisMod00[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point00[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))])

Very basic, easy to use, and works. I've included a test map, in case you are the type that likes to CnP triggers (I understand, we've all done it before).

Just don't forget to remove the Ultravision (item) ability from the item, if you're basing it off the Goblin Night Scope (like I did, lol).

YOU ARE AMAZING thanks!

Yeah, anytime.

one problem though. if you don't mind me asking,
should i set the LoS higher so when he walks into a black spot (un viewed area) there isn't that delay and the unit doesn't disappear until the vision catches up.

@Arkon Kaos your doesn't increase unit vision sight, but just creates visibility modifier in target area, so only position where item has been taken will generate sight, and when taken is disappears. Also it leaks location.

From what I understand, you want to increase unit sight, not reveal given area right, A-Mexican-Taco?
Here is my test map, its MUI and properly gives/removes vision & properly checks state of hero equipment when hero is revived.

just make a dummy unit with higher visibility and make it follow your unit around.

There is an ability ( to find it CTRL + F enter Item Sight Range Bonus ) and add it to the item. It will work No dummies, or triggers

Hah, I have forgotten about that since I though guys before me checked object editor already. My test map still works great but adding this ability (rawcode 'Alsi') is just simpler. However, if you want to manipulate day sight in differend way than night vision (for egzample in day +250, in night +100) dummy unit creation system proves to be better.

Don't add the ability to the unit, instead, add it to the Item Ability, lol.
Also, he's not asking for Day/Night vision, so, stick to the topic, lol.
Just increase its vision by using the Item Sight Range Bonus, that's it.

His topic: increase unit's vision.
I'd would be smart to not tell him, that he wants differend vision sight in day and night method is totaly differend.
