How Do You Let A Player See The Whole Map?

[Miss_Foxy]

Erm... I really hope this is in the correct section, but I've been trying to use GUI triggers to make it so that when a certain Unit (Classified as Summoned, Ward) for 5 Seconds (Before it's summoned duration is over) and during that 5 Seconds, the player summoning it can see the whole map, then go back to normal view again. Also, there are two Players which have the same unit so I'm kind of looking for a way to do it for individual players. Reputation will be given, thanks in advance!

You could set it up like this using a trigger (and then set a corresponding trigger for when the timer ends and disable the visibility modifier):

• Visibility Enabled
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) Equal to Healing Ward
  • Actions
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Owner of (Entering unit)) emitting Visibility across (Playable map area)
    • Countdown Timer - Start visibility_timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Entering unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds

Also have you tried setting the Stats - Sight Radius of the ward to max in the object editor?

Or give 99999999 (infinite) sight range to the ward

Or use Far Sight with 10000000000 AOE. Hahaha

Giving Infinite sight range can do job or:

• Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Owner of (Entering unit)) emitting Visibility across (Playable map area)

Ward duration can be edited in spell! Or with:

• Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

I thought Sight Range has its limit ?
1800 IS the limit

Use "Shift" sometimes!

 

[defskull]

I dare you to create a test map, 128x128 size and Shift the Sight Range of the unit to 99999999999999999
I want to see the evidence =D

Here ya go

 

[defskull]

What the hell...
I told you to create a test map that shows ONLY the usage of "Stats - Sight Radius (Day) and (Night)" not the problem solution to this thread lol...
You said "SHIFT" can solve the problem of going beyond max sight isn't it ?
Prove it, by only changing (SHIFT-ing) the Sight Radius (Day/Night) fields in Object Editor, thank you =D
(I'm doing this cause' I know, the Sight Radius is HARD-CODED engine in Warcraft III and cannot be changed)

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Actions:
Visibility Disable Black mask
Visibility Disable Fog Of War

Whatever happens:
Visibility Enable Black mask
Visibility Enable Fog Of War

 

[defskull]

Actions:
Visibility Disable Black mask
Visibility Disable Fog Of War

Whatever happens:
Visibility Enable Black mask
Visibility Enable Fog Of War

If you use this Actions, this will trigger ALL PLAYERS in the game, he only wants in Owner of the Unit only.

Ahahah I was joking with ya!
But I created triggers that can help, all you need to do is to add them into your spell

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Thanks a lot everyone! I'll try to give all of you Reputation!

 

[cboy123]
