As the title, how to decrease a unit's sight?
Ex: decreases a 1600/800 sight unit by 50% (800/400)

I would suggest making 2 units and doing what I recommend here:

You mean actual sight radius, or aquisition range? What are you trying to do to the character?

Well, I just want to make a skill similar to Diablo's Dim Vision, which reduces all units in the targeted area.

That wouldn't work well I think. When you cast it on them they would attack you, so its pretty much useless...

Unless you can create a "fake spell" and have the effects applyed by trigger, such as swapping the units for others that have an SFX over their head and have shorter vision.

It won't be useless because I can just fix the Gameplay Constants' Attack given sight (200 as default) to a smaller value. And besides, dim vision is not the only effect of the ability.

Anyway, I've solved the problem, by using Item Sight Bonus.
