1. Place a start location for them [Human, duh]
2. Vision up with who you want to vision
3. That question sucks

If you want it so that you can see what other players are doing, use AI Scripts (Turn Shared Vision On). Make sure that, say, you are P1 and you want vision from P2, that you turn on Shared Vision (AI Script) for both players.

(It only works if both players have shared vision activated).

If you want to see the WHOLE map, even areas that are vacant, playe multiple Map Revealers, for either you or someone who you want to see the whole map as well (Shared Vision AI Script), all around the map. I usually place a revealer, count 12 spots over by using the arrow keys, then placing another one.

Actually your AI vision statement is wrong. Both players do not need to have vision. But the vision is backwards from the way you might think it would be.

I find it is easyer to think of the trigger as "Get Vision From Player" Therefore if your player 1 and you want vision from player 2 you have to have the trigger owned by player 1 and it would read something like

Player 1
Condidtions:
-Always
Actions:
-Turn on Shared Vision for Player 2


I get it backwards alot myself cause i end up thinking its opposet of what i think. Then when you get ahang of it and you think its opposet of what you think then your back to phase one and confused again.

Remember to preserve trigger, so you can constantly bitch and whine at them and there is nothing they can do about it ;)
