looking for help wiht "unit comes within range"

Is there a way to use the "unit comes within range of (unit)" with a unit-type, as opposed to a specific unit?emote_confused

No. You would have use a periodic trigger to check for unit within range of other units. There is no way to do it directly, even using JASS. Its to do with the way that Warcraft III scripting works.

oh man ok thanks:bgrun:

what i was trying to do, was make it so that whenever a unit came within x range of a circle of power, they would get the circle of power...

now i will have to make a crapload of regions.. doh

you could make one region and every .01 seconds of the game move it to the postion of your unit. or i think that would help what you are trying to do. not quite sure of what exactly you want tho.
