While working with a friend on a recreation of Ivory Tower, we had a lot of issues with radar distances and was curious if anyone has a solution. She put the radar at 110% and we had a 44M radar which is crazy large but the default is 18M?
Is there an in between on this? There is a whole lot of empty space for that to be a 10% difference and it really messes with Map Balance when you can literally see everyone on the map at all times.
Although Arena considers 18 meters as default, the game itself considers 40 meters as default – meaning gametypes in Arena force the radar range down to 18 meters which is actually impossible to do in Custom Games because each 10% change to the radar range is worth 4 meters (40% is 16 m and 50% is 20 m). So just use 50% if you want a slightly-larger-than-Arena radar range.
okay, so custom maps will only force the default down to 18 if set to Arena? Thanks, trying to make maps that require a little more than 18 but not 40+ for radar as that covers pretty much all the map

If you’re playing in the Arena playlist, yes, default will be 18 m. In customs, just consider each 10% change as a 4 meter change, with 100% being 40 m.
