Ceeeb: In OFP v1.96, When a target is revealed to a unit, its 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; Posted on January 15, 2012
kju: The same idea from Doolittle's note applies to beaming of units. If you setPos an unit or a player, reveal (all) nearby objects and vehicles to make the interaction possible a lot quicker.; Posted on January 15, 2012
kju: Revealing a targetUnit will also add it to nearTargets database of the given sourceUnit. The quality/detail level of the info depends on the knowsAbout value used with reveal. More detail in the nearTargets page.

Killzone Kid: Units that have been previously subjected to enableSimulation false; or enableSimulationGlobal false; may stay unrecognised for a long time even after simulation was re-enabled, returning objNull as cursorTarget. Force revealing units with reveal command usually solves the problem. For example: {player reveal _x} forEach allUnits;

 Since ARMA 2 OA 1.60 the alternative syntax is available. Values greater than or equal 1.5 reveal the side of the target, too. The knowledge level can only be increased, not decreased by this command. Use [[forgetTarget]] first if you need to decrease value.<br><br>
