sight more than 1800

[MooMooMan]

is there any way that i can give a building/unit more sight than 1800? this is a pain to me, ive tried to give scout towers and such more than 1800 sight, but to no avail.

Unfortunaly no I don't think so. You might be able to give it unlimited range if you set it to 0(used as unlimited by some abilites). Another posibillity is an upgrade tha gives increased sight range(don't know any that do) or an ability that does(don't know any of these either except for far sight and thats not passive).

it is quite simple: hold down SHIFT while opening the field and you will be able to enter negative and positive values, as well as number between 0 and 99999.

You might use this for all other kind of numerical fields like devotion aura and whatever you like.

OMG i never thought of that, this would make many things more simple and precise, you should post this all over the net, because there are a lot of people that think that its the maximum or unlimited.

you really should tell all, get the helper to post it on the front page, not even some of the mods know this.

Damn my shift key must be broken too. Stupid orange juice.

Wait a second. I've used shift key on other data fields. Are you sure it works for LOS?

Edit: DOH I forgot about the LOS trigger.

It is all over the place, Ive already said that about 20 times on this forum

I doubt any WC mods DONT know about it

All you have to do is at map init, add a sight bonus to a player where the Scout Tower is. Or, when they are built, add the sight range bonus to the Scout Tower's position and remove it when they die.

The above options will not work, since the sight range default on ANY building is 1800. If you set it higher, in-game it will be 1800. It's just like movement speeds.

The bold part caught my attention...

In Gameplay Constants, I believe I once saw "Max Movement Speed - 400", or something. Naturally, I assumed changing that to be something higher means you can make a higher movement speed, could this be true for Sight Range?

I'd have to check the Constants again to be sure, and to check if there IS a Sight Range Max, or anything, but I'm pretty sure there would be. Why not, right?

I think that Movement Speed can go up to 514, even with spells, so maybe Sight Range has a maximum value hardcoded...
Not sure at all

um i made a map with a barney hero(dont ask) and i fiddled with the max walk speed and max run speed.(i dont know about u guys, but i never saw a warcraft thing that walked.)

i set his max run and his max walkto the same values, when i commanded him to move, he only acted on that command 3 seconds later, then he moved EXTREMLY jerky, like he couldnt decide wether to walk or to run.

i think its because he tried to do both at the same time, but im not sure, anyone know what happened?

this is one among MANY :nuts: things that happened when i made this map.

another was imade a bunch of barney's followers.(again dont ask) each had 0 cooldown and 50-60 dmg.

barney had 1000 per sec life regen and 700 hp so that makeshim almost invulnerable.

i summoned about 30 of the followers,and commanded them to attack barney, the projectile was abomination( the real big thing and all)

then i had a massive lag, and when that finished, there was what looked like a purple explosion on screen, then it froze.

(snicker)i have fun doing these things to my computer, its great fun.

The movement speed maximum is 522. It's hardcoded into the game, and cannot go any higher. People have tried changing that value within Warcraft's files, but it's always the same, it never goes above 522.

Sight range is set to 1800, it cannot go any higher.
