Visible Areas

[Teaspoon]

Does anyone know how to make an area (region or something) in your map fully visible? Like, I've got a city that I want you to be able to see the whole time and to see the whole city.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I think I dissected a map once that had this in, I believe it's a trigger.

maybe to make a dummy that has a very large LOS...that might work

That's actually a good idea, a player-owned unit that doesn't have a model but a big sight.

Thought of that too, but isn't there another more simple way?

That's the simplest way I can think of, triggers are more complicated.

Yes,there is a lot simpler way.
Create a Region type variable.
Then do this...

• EnableVision
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Map_Playable = (Playable map area)
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for Player 1 (Red) emitting Visibility across Map_Playable

Just put in the variable the region you want and change the player for whom you desire the vision to be enabled.
