[Unsolved] Range and Splash help

yeah i tested this out too and i have no idea what the problem is. The trigger looks like it should work...

why dont you use a research that comes with the item and makes the unit to upgrade when the item is picked? that way you are gonna increase your range (for splash damage in range you might use orb of fire) but i if you drop the item the increased range will still be there... coz it is an upgrade upgraded via trigger... perhaps you can use that
