'Sight Range' tag?
« on: August 20, 2014, 09:45:49 pm »
How do we change how far something can see? I couldav'e sworn I've seen it done before..

My adventurer needs to see farther (wouldn't hurt if other people could too)  :)

Do you mean see farther in general, or when under certain conditions?

I don't think that there is a tag for the former, but there is the tag [LOW_LIGHT_VISION:#], which improves how well the creature can see in the dark.

For reference, Dwarves have [LOW_LIGHT_VISION:10000]

There is a view range tag that determined the radius of a creature's field of vision, but it seems to no longer work as of df2014, probably due to an oversight related to the new FOV code.  Also, it never worked with adventurers.

Mah adventure has horrible eye sight, cant see more than ~30 ish steps infront of him, climbing a tree only makes it worse too :P
