Help regarding LOS trigger

[Walabie]

Hi, im new to warcraft 3 modding and would like to know if it's possible for a unit to gain a buff to his/her Line of sight upon entering a certain part of the terrain (via a trigger) (ex.: When you enter a building, you gain a buff ehancing your line of sight)

I've been searching a while for something that could help me with this but was unable to find any help. I hope some of you can help me out!

Thanks in advance for any reply!

1. The item ability that increases line of sight.
2. Use triggers to reveal parts of the map only when a unit is in a region.
3. Use perodic triggers to reveal area around a unit only when in a certain region.

I've uploaded a test map
Feel free to ask any question regarding the map ;D
Enjoy

Note:
Critical Info; You'll need to have at least ONE Remaining Skill Point in order for the Increase Vision Ability to work

1 question: Does the item ability break the 1800 line of sight limit like you can do with triggers?

What do you mean by, "breaking the 1800 sight limit" ???
Is there any limit by that... ?

There is a hardcoded wc3 limit which gives your units a limited sight range, if item increase breaks that limit it would be nice.

It doesn't break the limit.

@defskull: You do not need to classify the ability as hero ability. Also, it's not required to have a skill point, UnitAddAbility does not go over selecting a hero skill by learning, it's not necessary to have the ability in the hero's ability menu beforehand. And even if you needed to have a free skill point, you could do this right before adding the ability, like you did in your chat event trigger.

I've tried using Add Ability Action, it seems to fail dude..

EDIT:
And I'm weird for my second trigger, it works FINE lol..

EDIT 2:
Well, maybe something went wrong in the first trigger, I've tried using Add Ability, it won't added...
