[Q] maximum unit sight range?

Hi folks, i know there is a maximum sight range for units,
but i dont know how to find out the exact value neither did i find anything by searching the board.

anybody knows?

greets,
bsycho

i think 1600 imho =)

99999

u can enter 9999 as value but the sight range ingame wont increase any further beyond a certain point.

thx toad; 1600 sounds like reasonable number, as i dont see any difference between 1800 and 2600.

is there a way to surpass the limit somehow?


edit: i just recall that melee heroes have a sight range (day) of 1800, so either my trigger isnt working at all, or thats the maximum.

yes 1600 or 1800 i don't remeber but NOT more =)

its 1800 or 1900 (some towers has 1900 in default) but the maximum normally used is 1800

In my world editor it's ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine. 99999. I'm using UMSWE, though.

A very small note, if you want structures to be able to see over terrain, trees 'n' stuff, set its movement speed to flying. Hope that helps in future.

Hold shift while clicking the field you want to edit. This overcomes the arbitrary UI limits. Then test in game and see if it's a hardcoded limit. Which i sincerely doubt it is.

You can overcome both sight range and attack range with upgrades, i believe.

check owl scout (potm summon) it have 2600 , soo 1800 is not limit.

weird, if i put the owl next to a unit with 1800 sightrange there is no difference.
in the editor it says 2200 (owl lvl 3, doesnt use upgrades).

i wonder if my map is messed up in any way...
