[JASS] Reducing a units line of sight...Need help please!

[Japut3h]

Alright, so I'm trying to make a spell, basically, it should reduce the line of sight of all enemy units from the default 1800 to something like, 100 for 5/6.5/8 seconds...

Any ideas on how to pull this off? Any help would be appreciated.

 

[DeadZero]

You can't really do that with abilities, you could probably do it with much lag and triggers but other than that you can't, sorry.

 

[Anachron]

Yes, Goblins Sight item ability and use a negative value.

 

[Xemnas]

Hmmm you want to make the same spell like this one in HON right?

 

[Japut3h]

Eh, sorry, I don't know about that map, but if it's any similar to what I've said then yeah.

 

[Anachron]

HoN = Heroes of Newerth. Its a DotA genre game. Its like a 1:1 copy of DotA.
And Japut3h, using the goblin sight now?

 

[Xemnas]

Anachron can u write the code? I want to add this spell too

The ability you say is Ultravision or Item Sight Range Bonus?

 

[Anachron]

Item Sight Range Bonus.
Well yes I can, but I thought Japut3h wanted to do it by himself?

 

[Xemnas]

Hmmm I don't think I have the knowledge to do it alone,could you pm me(So we don't spoil Japut3h's effort) how can I start the trigger?

 

[Japut3h]

Oh, don't worry about spoiling my efforts, I'd appreciate it a lot if you could post the spell here too.

Tried the goblin sight thing, won't work. The editor doesn't let me use negative values for some abilities, like that one.

I did enable negative values by the way.

(hold shift)

 

[Adiktuz]

(hold shift)

hold shift -> click the value -> release shift -> type the negative value -> hold shift-> press ok or enter

that's how it is for me, when I hold shift I cannot enter a value so you release it when typing the value then just hold it again before you press ok.

 

[Anachron]

hold shift -> click the value -> release shift -> type the negative value -> hold shift-> press ok or enter

that's how it is for me, when I hold shift I cannot enter a value so you release it when typing the value then just hold it again before you press ok.

Correct, plus then its easy to just add and remove the ability from the units.
