Ceeeb, could you provide some sort of support for your assertion that the information from General Barron is false, the information you removed from this command I mean?

:Sure! Please note the information I removed was stated as only applying to OFP, as does the replacement info.
:"Once the target goes out of sight of the unit, his knowsAbout value doesn't instantly go back down. Rather, it slowly decreases, taking maybe a couple of minutes to go from 4 to 0."
::The old info suggests the reduction rate is linear, which is not strictly true. My note contains more correct information on what happens in this scenario.
:"So if a unit spots you, and you then teleport yourself to the other side of the island, his knowsAbout value on you could still be 3 or higher."
::This is not true, assuming "the other side of the island" = a distance larger than the viewdistance setting. Again, my note contains more exact information about what happens in this scenario. I think precise information is more useful without conflicting, misleading information on the same page. --[[User:Ceeeb|Ceeeb]] 05:12, 13 February 2007 (CET)

Sure! Please note the information I removed was stated as only applying to OFP, as does the replacement info.
"Once the target goes out of sight of the unit, his knowsAbout value doesn't instantly go back down. Rather, it slowly decreases, taking maybe a couple of minutes to go from 4 to 0."
The old info suggests the reduction rate is linear, which is not strictly true. My note contains more correct information on what happens in this scenario.
"So if a unit spots you, and you then teleport yourself to the other side of the island, his knowsAbout value on you could still be 3 or higher."
This is not true, assuming "the other side of the island" = a distance larger than the viewdistance setting. Again, my note contains more exact information about what happens in this scenario. I think precise information is more useful without conflicting, misleading information on the same page. --Ceeeb 05:12, 13 February 2007 (CET)
