[Trigger] Reducing attack range

[Davy Jones]

I am willing to make a spell reduce attack range but I don'y know how. The spell should be an area of effect fog which I want to reduce range. Until now I've done the area but don't know how to reduce range!!! Also any secondary effect sugestions for fog would be appreciated.

This is not easily accomplished. There isn't a way to 'reduced range'. A good compromise would be acquisition range, the range at which units auto engage enemies. You can do that or replace all units in the fog with the same unit, just less range. Sorry i can't be more help.

So will lower acquistion range units will not use their range attack?

 

[T4COBELL]

if a units acquisition range is 700, and a unit comes within 700, the unit moves to attack that unit. If you lower acquisition range to 500-ish, it wont engage until it comes closer. The player can still micromanage units to attack.

You can check whenever a unit does an attack and target has more then x distance order the unit to stop.
