Are you aware that this is eating performance like crazy? :D
But you showed us that we can use range actors for funky things...

Wow. Very interesting haha. Perhaps next time make them in a loop with triggers haha, but otherwise I can honestly say I have never seen anything like that done in SC2 before.

I updated the first map, it looks much cooler. The other map is a bat simulation, it does not require a good computer to run, you should definetly check it out :)

Ok basically he is using an actor with the Range type. In the first map he put up there were many range circumferences. They moved with the blacked out terrain and you could then see different height levels on the map. The second one did the same thing except it had a moving range circumferences instead of a bazillion different ones. Very cool thanks for sharing.

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know.

Thank you for explaining :)
@willuwontu
I think it actually does detect units like the sensor tower does. I haven't tested it yet though.

I updated the Range_actors so that it tracks the movement of units as well. In order for the radar unit to detect the moving unit, the radar unit has to be moving. I set both of the units to patrol so you can see what I mean. Other than that, it looks pretty cool.
EDIT:
I updated the map again, now the radar unit is instantly moved instead of patrolling. It looks as if the radar unit stands still. Try it out :)
