Reveals a unit to a group or another unit. The knowledge value will be set to the highest level any unit of the revealing side has about the revealed unit. If the revealing side has no knowledge about the revealed unit, the value will be set to 1. Since ARMA 2 OA 1.60 the alternative syntax is available. Values greater than or equal 1.5 reveal the side of the unit, too. The knowledge level can only be increased, not decreased by this command.

In OFP v1.96, When a target is revealed to a unit, it's knowsAbout rating is set to 1, unless it was already more than 1 in which case reveal does nothing. See knowsAbout for more details about knowsAbout ratings and limitations.
