[Spell] Temporarily Remove Unit Vision

[zachhandley]

Hi all,

I'm looking to temporarily remove a units vision (or reduce it to 0)

I've tried negative values in the sight range bonus item, but they don't seem to work (or I'm adding them wrong)

Is that the only item that does something like that?

Thanks!

I remember doing something similar and it worked. I used a certain item ability, probably the one you are talking about. I don't know why it would not work for you.
The ability is called "Item Sight Range Bonus". You can use negative values by holding shift while double clicking on the data field.
Alternatively you can enable negative values in the preferences. The shift method does more than only allowing negative values though. You can also use silly huge and small values, so basically shift allows you to enter anything, but this allows you also to enter values that won't work and cause problems.

Applying negative values for the Sight Range Bonus ability worked for me. Perhaps you're applying the negative values wrong?

I've attached a map file with a crude reduce vision ability if you'd like to experiment with it.

I tried it and you're right, it seems to work. Not sure what's going wrong with mine

Thank you!
