I need to place markers for HQ bldgs, so lords and worker scouts can know how far to go before turning back.
Sorta like the skeleton thing @ 9 on python. But obviously one that works on space terrain.
PS- Do workers have the same vision range as overlord?
PPS-
Also, I was under the impression that overlord can see an HQ structure before the structure sees the lord. But earlier when I was checking angles it seemed we could both see each other at the same time. Does the angle of the 2 matter? (lord was approacing nexus from below and left)
I was just doing some testing and
units can see downward more than upwards. (tested lords)
Saw his lord both on screen (half in shadow) and a blip on the minimap and he couldn't see mine. modified by SpoR
the vision of CC and (unupgrades) Overlord are the same. but vision emerges from the center of both. so if you see only the edge of the CC with your overlord and then turn back immediately, terran doesnt see your Overlord
