Hi, I made a new topic for a new question, so correct me if I shouldn't have, and it won't happen again :)
So yeah, I want to make an ability, that, when activated makes my hero a detector, a detection tower (seeing the enemies from far away in the fog of war) and see like an air unit would : above hills, which requires to increase the height vision.
You would need a Search Area effect that can target hidden units that uses a revealing Search Area effect like the scanner of the orbital command center.

Default number since the duration of the buff determines how long it lasts. Have the search scan last for a very short duration but be applied frequently.

ModeratorsIs this a passive or active ability?

ModeratorsThe start with an Effect - Instant ability and a button from the Buttons data type for it. Next make a Search Area effect and a second one.
By the way you want to reveal the position of the enemy units as they move or just where they were?

I want to see exactly as if he was an air unit (and go back to normal when the behavior stops).

ModeratorsSo not reveal units through the fog of war/unexplored map?
Then have a Create Persistent effect used by the ability that uses frequent low duration map revealing Search Area effects.

@DrSuperEvil: Go
And how many periods do I put ?
@samourai23: Go
Well now it lasts forever, and don't follow my hero. Like a scan does. And it's a very very big zone it does too...
EDIT : It works ! :)
