Accelerating Beyond Max Speed

[defskull]

If you played DotA game, you'd be easier to understand this situation
Take "Homing Missile" ability from Gyrocopter, its missile uses acceleration system which increase speed gradually over time/range
The thing is, I want to know is, HOW do the missile sometimes surpass the limited 522 Movement Speed in Warcraft III Engine ?
I tried changing Max Speed in Gameplay Constants to 1000 but still, it obeys the 522 Movement Speed as if the engine is itself, hard-coded
So, what do the missile use for "accelerating beyond limited speed" ?
I'm suspecting it uses Move unit (Instantly) action OR the SetUnitX , SetUnitY
Or am I missing something over here ?

Yeah, it is possible.

It involves SetUnitX/Y (doesn't interrupt orders). It offsets the unit when they are moving according to their move speed. I suggest you use that library, because it is the easiest route (assuming you are fine with implementing AIDS and Key Timers 2 in your map).

To answer your question, you can't increase that value. The only way is to simulate it via the method used in MoveSpeedX. It is a bit annoying to do in GUI, and might lag a lot/be inefficient, but it can still be doable I guess.

Using Unit - Set Movement Speed action will surpass 522 max speed, no ?

It won't.
