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 (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!

The normal sight of a unit is more like of a circle shape. You can in-/decrease it ingame via the Item: Sight Radius Bonus ability (AIsi). There is also an upgrade effect but this would not be senceful removable again, nor specifically affect only your one single unit. Aside from that, you could request the help of triggers, using fogmodifiers or dummy units that grant you additional sight.

Actually, that is a question for here, Walabie. Creating the system is for the Help Zone.
