Description:: 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.
Groups:: Uncategorised

Syntax:: groupName reveal unitName
Parameters:: groupName: Object or Group which receives revealing information
: unitName: Object which is revealed
Return Value:: Nothing

Syntax:: groupName reveal [unitName, accuracy]
Parameters:: groupName: Object or Group which receives revealing information
: unitName: Object which is revealed
: accuracy: Number - knowledge value, clamped to 0...4 range

Example 1:: _soldierOne reveal _soldierTwo; //soldierOne received information about soldierTwo
Example 2:: player reveal cursorTarget; //player receives information about the object below its cursor
Example 3:: _soldierOne reveal [_soldierTwo, 1.5];

Ceeeb: 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.; Posted on January 24, 2008
Doolittle: Use reveal to allow client to see a created vehicle faster - the associated menu interaction will become available therefore, like the player has option to get in sooner. _tank = "M1A1" createVehicle (position player); player reveal _tank; //get in user actions become available instantly
