Unit Range

Hey,

Is there a way, with triggers, to modify a units range? How would you do this?

P.S - This is probably a stupid question, but I need it answered as soon as possible.

There are some ways, but they are imprecise:
1 - Using an upgrade, then using the Player - Set Current Research Level action, but don't even think of "unresearching" the upgrade, cause it is impossible.
2 - Replacing the unit with other, I don't think this is the best way to do it.
3 - If the unit is a Hero, then you can give it a orb abillity, orbs enable the hero second attack, you can modify them on the object editor.
Don't try modifying their acquisition range, cause it does not work.

Just FYI, all units have a second attack. So any unit can be given the orb ability to enable a 2nd ranged attack. That's kinda how the MG's tree smash thing works.

I thought orbs only enable the second attack off Heroes... How stupid I am...

acquision range doesnt work??? I think I have tried it and it worked...

Acquisition range is the range where a unit can target another unit and chase after it.
I want it where i can change how far the unit can shoot with triggers.

if it cant target u, it cant shoot u.

Acquisition range is completelly unrelated, if there are other units with greater acquisition range close to a unit with few, the unit will be able to attack

Arrgh, I want to with triggers, increase a units range! Like with the archer, in normal game you can get the bow upgrade that increases the archers range by 100. I want to do that with an item, you get the item, your range is incresed...you drop it it goes back to normal. Somebody please tell me how!

There is no way to do it, blame blizzard for that. Any other question?

Are you serious? Thats gay. Thanks anyway could you reply to my other thread though? Items with Triggers its a diffrent question. Thanks

Unit - Set [unit] acquisition range to [value]

i've never used it.
And any 1 knows how to allow a unit to attack while moving?

c ya!

plz read b4 posting, acquisition range has been talked about b4. For moving and attacking use "attack-move".
