make units visible in fog

[oxxo]

how do you make units visible in fog?

i guess you have a region around there where your fog is, so use 2 simple triggers

• Events
  • Unit - A Unit enters fog region
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - add ability permanent inisibility to triggering Unit

• Events
  • Unit - A Unit leaves fog region
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - remove ability permanent inisibility to triggering Unit

He said visible. Not invisible.

aren't they visible by default?

i mean in the fog of war. ofcourse they are visible by default in "atmospheric"-fog x)

ha lol, that was kinda confusing me, but do you mean on the minimap or on the screen? but anyway, i guess you want only some units to be visible, so you can try playing around with the "Soulstone" item from the campaign, as it does make your hero visible in fog of war when you caught another hero with it (use a dummy hero maybe). or another solution which might work, you put a building with some weird classification somewhere, and make it almost invisible (very small, colors, etc.) and place it in an area which is visible to everyone, give all those units a phoenixfire ability with unlimited range and no damage and which can only attack this building classification, normally attacking units get visible in fog of war, and if phoenixfire cooldown is sth like 0.01 you will always see the unit, although i don't know if this attack sight thing works for phoenixfire

so what you want is that an unit is visible (have shared vision) to a player which is not ally?

Huh, I've read it as "invisible" too in the first time^^

You can chance specialeffect of fog or attach a glowing specialeffect to units in fog to make them visible.
