Breath of Fire distance

[Ziadoma]

I am trying to archieve one dummy ability that casts 3 breath of fire abilites, with 300, 600 and 900 range aswell with the same width. My trouble here is, that I cant figure out to get the exact range.

As an example for the 300 range ability I have these values:

• Distance: 150
• Final Area: 300
• Area of Effect: 1

But the range of these spells seems always longer than they should be. I am not sure which values to tweak to achieve what I am trying to do here. I would like all 3 spells to have the same angle so they just overlay eachother and just have a difference in range. (the image angle is not accurate)

I also added a testmap. I appreciate any help.

panda's fire breath in ladder is semi notorious for hitting things further than the visual would suggest.

as I understand it, it just hits a circular area every tick. so your maximum distance would be distance + final area. please correct me if I'm wrong though!

It might be worth it to test the collision size property of the casting unit in the object editor.

With attacks, a unit's range begins at the end of that circle, so a unit with a 600 range attack and a 32 collision size will reach a range of 632.

I've never tested anything other than basic attacks with this, but it would stand to reason that all unit abilities have a final range of range + collision size, although it would also stand to reason if your dummy already has a collision of 0...

I'll check it out when I'm home if you don't test first.
