[Gem] Truesight vision range

[Aravis]

Currently Gem gives a truesight vision of 1100 Aoe.
Most heroes have at day a vision range of 1800 Aoe.

That means that Gem does not give the hero real truesight, cause at the borders of his vision he has no truesight.



As a suggestion adjust the Gem Truesight Aoe to the actual vision range of the hero.
(1800 day/ 800 night) with some (12 to be exact) exceptions.

This is done by creationg 7 different gems with each a different Truesight range, and giving it the heroes accordingly to their Sight range.

Edit: It is codeable!
Edit2: There was some confusion about the formulation. Note: Its not a fix.
Edit3: Thanks to Sgt Failure presenting another way to code this. According to him it is also possible to give the item an ability. Hence only 1 item would be needed.

Ofcourse it would adjust automatically if you hadn't noticed -_-

This could be problematic, as items can't change while they are in your inventory (just like QB doesn't change to melee on syllabear, or other ppls items not getting unmuted if you already have them in your inventory)

But it makes perfect sense, so if it is codeable t-up

I asked for the codeablitity in the programmers corner. It is possible.

Nice idea, TUP, its more logical than the current one.
But Idk, 7 gems, is it a lot?

It's not different from the way agha's is adjusting now.

In mapsize increase for the code it takes to create the items and give it to the heroes?
I guess its neglactable.

Well agha doesnt to it dynamik, but i guess its comparable.

This thread deserves more attention!

T up indeed!

That's really interesting. But ain't that an actual buff to Gem of True Sight?

[SN0W37]

T-UP, and its easy to code. Also compared to the 30 something number of aga spectors there are having 6 more gems wouldn't cause a very large MSI.

Could be a buff, but makes more sense anyway.
The gem is a object which you can see through to reveal invisible units.
If you can see the spot where your opponent (in invis) is standing, it would be only plain logic to reveal him if your looking at him through the gem.

T up, it makes sense

[mobus]

t-up but does that mean an NS with aghanims could see invisibles thru trees at night?

He can already.

But of course, it is logical. I was talking about the buff part.

Yeah, why not?

It's a buff and a nerf. As aravis said, most heroes have a vision range of 1800 day/ 800 night and the current gem range is a fixed 1100. So at day it would be a buff for most heroes and at night it would be a nerf. I think this fix will bring some more depth into gem carrying... this could work out like, that people will not only say 'tide, youre the tank get a frigging gem already' but people (pros that is) would consider giving it to luna for example, because she has a far better night sight range now.
