Creeps agro range

[Xzife_TD01]

This is a little hard to explain, what value do i have to change in the object editor to make it so creeps dont attack from so far away, like when i attack a monster im getting others from 250 attacking me (creeps are tightly packed in my game) how can i make it so only the ones from 100 or 150 attack me?

combat : aquisition range. Change it for each individual creep, not the heroes. Also you can set up triggers to change the aquisition range for any event you require, eg. specific creeps in region or time of day

That doesn't work. I've changed it several times and i havent noticed a change. I thought maybe i wasnt changing it enough to notice a differance, so i changed it to 1, they still attack as if it were still the standard 600.

This is a unit editor tutorial definition of aquisition range -

Combat - Acquisition Range (Real)
The range at which a unit/building/hero will automatically look for targets, and move or attack the target as necessary. Note that the attacking range of a unit/building/hero can never be greater than its acquisition range (see Unit Editor field "Combat - Attack x - Range").

So it should be working. At an aquisition range of 1, does the distance from the first unit you agro change? maybe once you aggro one the standard AI alerts others within a specific distance and commands them to attack.

 

[Xzife_TD01]

no there is no noticeable difference with the aquisition range at 1 or 600. Maybe the acquisition range is different from the range a creep will move to attack a target when another creep is attacked, like maybe it has a different value in the object editor.

Acquisiton Range isn't what you're looking for - that's how close a unit has to come to another unit for the unit to chase it, not how close creeps get allied creeps to help.

Try this;

Gameplay Constants - Combat - Call For Help Range, Creeps

I tried that earlier today, I changed it to 1, saved that map, and opened it again. I hit the test map button, but still no change. Im still getting creeps from about half the screen away heading in to attack the hero. Do you have to play the map from WC3 instead of WE to get the gameplay constants to init or something?

 

[PurplePoot]

You shouldn't have to, odd.

Try changing the normal call for help range too.

 

[Xzife_TD01]

did em both, still didnt work. You dont think my WE is u know "broke"?

 

[PurplePoot]

Maybe those values are broke, I've never changed them myself.

They sound right, though, more so than anything else...
