it could be you just need to change thier accuisition range (or however the hell u spell it) they can still throw or shoot that far but they just won't aquire the target that far unless you change the range for aquiring thier target.

Can you make acquisition range go over 500 or 600 or whatever it's normally set at? All I know how to do is make them camp... is acquisition range in the editor, or do I have to trigger it? Or, that might be a game constant...

Acquisition range is in the Object editor, near the units attack range.

Actually, its above the attack info I think...

What he means is that when he sets the units range to like 2000 it acts like 600... you can do 2000 and stuff with buildings...

I too am having a prob with this HELP... :nono:

To quote myself from another thread.........

Even if a units attack range is 700, if its acquisition range is 500 it will only shoot 500...

If its acquisition range is 700, but its attack range is 500 it will only shoot 500.......


In other words, to TRULY set a units range to 2000, you must set its Range AND Acquisition Range to 2000.

just change the aquisition range and attack range to 2k and it will have a shooting range of 2k...i tend to use 1200 or 1500...
