I know you can use a medic to Blind a unit, but does anyone know of a way in NON-Brood War to reduce a unit's sight range, other than taking advantage of upgrade differences?



None.

Other than reducing a unit with upgraded sight to non-upgraded sight, no, or you could reduce them to burrowed unit sight, since that is less than normal, but nothing that is as small as blindness.



None.

I see. That's what I thought. Unfortunate...

Is it possible to reduce a unit to burrowed unit sight without actually burrowing it? Or to do it to a unit that's unburrowable, like a zealot? I need reduced sight on a unit that the player can move around.



None.

Have a burrowed unit follow your unit, turn off vision with youself using triggers, and turn on vision with the burrowed units player

Mines have pretty small sight range

That's one way, another is to simply create the burrowed unit for a player that has burrow researched, then give it to the player with burrow disabled, now they have a burrowed unit and they can't unburrow.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
