[Trigger] change attack range of unit

[fengar]

i want to make a trigger that when a spell is cast the hero increase his attack range from melee to ranged

 

[mik]

you cant effectively change his range. you have to be creative. possible ways:

1. use an orb
he already gives melee units ranged attack. i dunno if you can make it target ground though.

2. use metamorphosis

dunno if its the name exactly, i mean the ultimate of the NE demonhunter. he gets ranged, though with some other effects, you gotta try if you can change them all.

3. give your hero 2 attacks

and set different allowed aims for them (like mechanical /organical)
then change the type of all enemy units to type mechanical or w/e by this trigger.

easiest way probably, but then you cant use mechanical/organical types for any other use.

so far

Yes you can.

Or you can use the trigger action 'set research level' and use the riflemen range upgrade (make a custom upgrade based off this with 1 level and make the section of the unit stats called 'upgrades used' contain this. Much easier and smoother than mik's methods.... and the standard way of doing it as far as i can see.

and how i take out the reserch when the skill is over?

gavdaman88, do some research. You can't downgrade an upgrade
mik is right.
fengar, use wait function.

Ah didn't realise he wants it off, my apologies mik.

And out of his options in terms of being the most friendly I'd definitely recommend the Metamorphosis option. This is actually a good idea for an ability, good luck with the project its for!
