Famous for it's comment "; multiplier to sight !!!going past ten is a hard code Vegas crash!!!", this multiplier is set to 0.0 by default. Activated, it is applied every time an object gets promoted to a higher level.
This is one of the several Veteran Factors that control the bonuses given by {{f|VeteranAbilities|link}} and {{f|EliteAbilities|link}}. {{f|VeteranSight}} is a straight multiplier to the {{f|Sight|link}} of units that benefit from the SIGHT promotional bonus. Contrary to popular belief, these bonuses do ''not'' stack, meaning that a SIGHT elite bonus will '''not''' further increase the sight of a unit with a SIGHT veteran bonus.

'''Example:''' if the unit's {{f|Sight}} is 6, then it would be increased to 9 (assuming {{f|VeteranSight|1.5}}).

This is one of the several Veteran Factors that control the bonuses given by VeteranAbilities and EliteAbilities. VeteranSight is a straight multiplier to the Sight of units that benefit from the SIGHT promotional bonus. Contrary to popular belief, these bonuses do not stack, meaning that a SIGHT elite bonus will not further increase the sight of a unit with a SIGHT veteran bonus.

Example: if the unit's Sight is 6, then it would be increased to 9 (assuming VeteranSight=1.5).

6 * 1.5 = 9.


The comment, "; multiplier to sight !!!going past ten is a hard code Vegas crash!!!", seems not to be applicable in the Tiberian Sun engine, as the limit for Sight is in fact 11, not 10. Yes, it works.
