Description

I was trying to make a script to detect if a player looks at a unit or something else when I found it.

Details

Legacy ID: 2463046637
Severity: None
Resolution: No Bug
Reproducibility: Always
Category: Scripting

Steps To Reproduce

place yourself and a unit (hostile to your side)
look at the unit and open the debug console and use the code:
Hint str cursorTarget
it will return <Null-Object>

Additional Information

After you kill the enemy the command seems to works, it gives you the unit id and group as it should...

Civilians always works...

the hostile needs to be "known" before cursorTarget can return the object

player reveal [cursorTarget, 4];

wouldn't work as cursorTarget is NULL

What happens if you do

{player reveal [_x, 4]} forEach allUnits

Just tested the reveal method, it works, marking as resolved as no bug.
