API UnitIsVisible
Last wiki revision 2023-08-13
Returns true if the game client can see the unit. visible = UnitIsVisible(unit)
- Arguments
- (String unit)
- unit:UnitId of the unit
- Returns
- visible: - 1 if client can see unit, nil if not
- Details
- The game client can see objects (including units) that the server has told it to load (and has not yet told it to unload). The server provides objects in a 100-yard radius, but seems to load them in batches.
- This does not check for line-of-sight, only for game client visibility.
