Adjustable spotDistance

BapKing:

We could tinker with these variables and use a script to apply them to night ops only Some kind of if statement that checks mission time, if it is after 8pm or a reasonable time that it gets dark then it sets all AI to lower values Or you could have it be something that you just add manually as a script to your night missions only which is less complex but would need to remember each time

[EduardSchwarzkopf]

that is perfect. We could test different values with that. Also it possible to make this a bit automated with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/moonPhase I could write a small script, that is executed on mission start, to set that value. Needs to be tested with spawned in units, but this wouldnt be to much of a pain to implement

Do not bother using that code

AI will see you with NVGs about 50-70 in any light condition at night. With our current setting, I was not able to see a unit in a pitch-black forest, but the ai had no problem. But while I'm able to see a unit on a full moon easily about 300m, an AI is not spotting me.
