Closer 2 attack unit

[Healingpoison]

How do I make it so that a unit has to be closer to attack an enemy

i think this would work, you need to add as many players in the event as you want affected by this trigger with size needs to be changed to the distance away you want the unit to be able to attack from. there may be a problem where this region doesnt actually exist, i dont know i havent teseted it. report back whether it works or not.

ohoh i have a better way of doing this now! the distance thing i changed is in real comparisons under maths (math - distance between points). im confident this will work. also you MUST have the wait there or it wont work. another tip is that if you dont know the size you want in numbers, make a region and use this condition:

[trigger:1:64509fcaee]
(Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Position of (Targeted unit))) Less than or equal to (Width of Attack Distance Region)
[/trigger:1:64509fcaee]

any ways heres what u want.

I was actually looking for something more under object data but I look in to your triggers.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

my triggers make it so if the unit is told to attack a target that is a more than a certain distance away it wont do anything. if you wanted it so a unit will only attack automattically withing a certain range then you can do it in object editor under aqusition range. the difference is that my trigger will stop the unit from attacking when is told to attack, while aqusition range works when the unit automattically attacks a unit in range.

having said that my trigger will work for both, but if you only want automatic attacking use aqusition as the game will lag less.

 

[Healingpoison]

I'm actually looking for something that will make the unit closer to the enemy when it attacks not when it aquires the enemy unit

 

[GST_Nemisis]

so you want the unit to move towards the unit tageted?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Attack range?

 

[Healingpoison]

Attack rangeI guess

Like the distance he has to be before he can start whacking people

 

[GST_Nemisis]

oh like how far a sword or magic attack can reach?

 

[Healingpoison]

yes

 

[GST_Nemisis]

well that is in object editor under combat - attack 1 - range and combat - attack 2 - range. i think you have to edit range motion buffer too for swords and stuff but im not sure.

 

[Healingpoison]

ok thanks

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Motion buffer, I suspect, is for projectile artwork; but I've never actually worked out what it does.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

yes that is what i thought, so for the sword you would need to make it look as if it extends out longer. but you wouldnt need it for projectiles like magic balls or rockets.

Hey Dan! It seems that you have gotten wc3 installed again since you wrote these triggers!

 

[GST_Nemisis]
