Correct, to elaborate,

Scanning range is how far you can see enemies on the mini map. :D
Transmiting range is how far away your enemies can see you, I think. :?

Interesting... and if you set the value of transmitrange to "0.0", then you would not show up on another unit's minimap?

Hidden/Spoiler:
This is used for the minimap mod which allows you to see all units on the map, even online. it ruined SWBF. There's also no way to stop people from using it. It's the only real mod that can be used in any server that you can cheat with.

If that is the case, then how do you keep a unit from appearing on a minimap?

put scanningrange to 0, that should do it. but only you won't be able to see anyone on the minimap, everyone else will be able to see like normal. Those who have the minimap mod will still be able to see all units on the minimap at all times.
