Attack Range of melee units.

[envenger]

Is there any way to change the attack range of melee units?

When I changed the combat - attack range, nothing happens

When I order the unit to attack any target, it some times stand at 200 range and attacks the target.

your unit is classified as melee units depends on it's range
melee units is <128 range
range units is >128 range

 

[Malhorne]

So you can set the attack range of a melee to 120 if it's at 100. But it will not really matter...
But you can set a melee unit to range by adding range and adding missile and changing attack type.

I made combat acquisition range to 5. Can it be responsible to cause this any problem?

 

[Malhorne]

Yes since it will automatically fight when an ennemy come to 5 around the hero.

5 range is very short. You can toggle a grid in the editor by pressing G, the smallest squares are 32x32, medium are 128x128, large ones are 512x512.

I didn't want the units to get into combat automatically so put it less

You need to use a trigger for that, since the acquisition (aggressive) range on Object Editor is the maximum range the unit can have. Ex. if the unit has 500 range while it's acquisition range is only 200, the unit's range will automatically set to 200.

acquisition range must never be less than attack range even for ranged heroes set both of them 200 and it will work

But it works even if I set acquisition range less than attack range

acquisition range is like a max range. If you have 200 acquisition range and 500 attack range that unit can only attack things within the 200 range. It will not have 500 range for attacks.

Exactly
did you try it see if it works?

 

[envenger]

For melee units I guess it is an exception. Cause I didn't went through any of these problems...

1. Melee units are any units with the attack type normal. This doesn't depend on range afaik.
2. Effective attack range is also affected by collision range, to prevent the possibility of a unit not being able to approach another unit to attack it. Furthermore, the reason that melee units have 100 attack range is that with lower ranges they have trouble with hitting moving(escaping) units.

Effective attack range:
attacker collision/2 + defender collision + attacker range
But never more than acquisition range.
