The radar map is redrawn to show the new area.

Valid values

  • Four numbers in cells, giving the origin and then the width and height of the new playable area.
Caveats
  • The rectangle is trimmed to fit the playfield the same way as [LocalSize](/keys/localsize/), so the area can end up smaller than written.
  • When the new area takes in a vehicle, infantryman or aircraft, that object looks around at once, so widening the area reveals the ground around it straight away. In a campaign or standalone mission, only a player-controlled house's objects do this. A structure does not get this immediate look.
  • A vehicle, infantryman or structure that the new area leaves outside stops revealing ground. A vehicle or infantryman starts again when it reaches the center of a cell inside the area, as [Who looks, and when](/systems/map-visibility/#who-looks-and-when) describes.
  • The new terrain announcement plays every time the action runs, whether or not the area changed.
