How to decrease/increase sight radius?

How to decrease/increase sight radius through a skill or even a buff?
I'm trying to make a skill where in the target who gets hit will loose sight of his enemies and allies... or just decrease the sight radius to 100 for a while.

You could try adding the "goblin night scope" ability (dunno what its called) with negative data.

How can I do that?...
How can I place negative data?
Where can I find where to put it in?

The ability is called "Item Sight Range Bonus".
"Data - Sight range bonus" says how much "bonus" you get.
Shift + Double-Click to put a negative value in.

However, that ability isn't castable, and it doesn't have a duration.
You're going to need some dummy ability for the casting,
add it to the target unit and remove it some time later.

Will it work?
I don't know.

That's weird... There's a duration in the Stats section... there's a casting time... well... there's a whole lot of stuff.

All abilities have that.
As an example, every ability has "Stats - Buffs", however, if the ability didn't have one to begin with,
adding one later won't make it use it.

=/ Hmmm... that doesn't work well then...
How about those "Visibility" stuff in the Trigger Editor?
Could I use them?

No, they apply to regions on the map, not individual units.


Event:
- A unit starts the effect of an ability
Conditions:
- (Ability being cast) equal to Optical Flare
Actions:
- Unit - Add ability "Goblin Night Scope (new)" to (Target unit of ability being cast)
- Wait 10.00 game-time seconds
- Unit - Remove ability "Goblin Night Scope (new)" from (Target unit of ability being cast)

That, supposedly, would do it...

Thanks! ^^

But if I were to use the Visibility trigger...
I saw a Visibility thingy with a circle?
And it did have that thing about Visible from the Targeted caracther in a radius... uhh... something like that...

Try it out... you'll see what it does.
