Make a unit have 9999 sight radius

[RobertMKD]

Tried to do it through object editor but 1800 is the maximum radius, even when I enter value with shift+enter.

So how do I do this, except for creating visibility modifiers pls....

Are you using JNPG?

There is an item ability which increases sight range. I forget what it is called, though. Just look for something like "Item Sight Range Bonus" or something like that. I think it can go up to any value from there.

As you said, a unit can have a maximum sight range of 1800, there are no exceptions.

For such a big sight range a visibility modifier which is updated every second or so is certainly the best choice.

Oh dang. I thought the item ability would move it above. I guess it doesn't?

Lemme see... 9999 right... you know you can disable the fog of war in triggers right?
Because 10k sight radius is like 70% of your total map width.

 

[RobertMKD]

Yeah, I know that, but I want units to still be unable to see behind trees.

The only method I know would be similar to cone vision. The idea is to spawn dummy units in a line with increasing sight ranges. You could adapt this idea and have the units radiate out greater than 1800 from your unit and stop when it encounters a tree. This will all depend on you map because I assume it will be very intensive moving so many dummy units around. Especially if multiple units have this vision type.

Or convert Coordinates to Regions and use:

• Visibility - Create an initially Enabled/Disabled visibility modifier for aPlayer emitting Visibility across TheRegion

And then turn it on if disabled.

Would that still provide vision over trees?

 

[RobertMKD]

Yea Arad, I was thinking of the same solution, I think region visibilities don't go over trees, since it's not a point.. So, I'll need to create a region for every unit every X seconds and create a visibility modifier there.. Isn't that going to make the game lag. Orrrr, wait I think there was some 'Region - Move' action......?

you should deploy locust dummies at important locations of the map, by using each for two teams and change ownership to the neutral hostile at the map load. Since this is literally map hack other than trees, deploy them at the very legit locations, next you have to check for angles from the caster toward the dummies if there are direct tree blocks, activate those that are not blocked and change ownership to your team.
