Guard Distance

[plumsy460]

Is there a way to adjust Guard Distance for specific units?

Or maybe a way to trigger it somehow?

What do you mean by guard distance?

Do you mean creep camp distance, which is how far a creep will chase an enemy before they return to their origin?

If so, this value can be changed in gameplay constants. Note that it is a global value, so if you need it to be specific to creeps/creep camps, you would have to code your own creep camping system in.

It is called "Creeps - Guard Distance" in Contants.

It defines -assist range-, meaning the distance required for units to assist friendly units being attacked. It is NOT about chasing.

This entire conversation sounds like you @plumsy460 answered your own question. If you're trying to make a unit not attack others on sight, you might want to lower its Acquisition Range under Combat.

Other than that, its the thing you answered by yourself.

I did not answer it. This is the answer to my question. Thank you

All though it does not function the same way as Guard Distance. It is still useful.

You're welcome.

And yes you did answer your own question. First you asked

Is there a way to adjust Guard Distance for specific units?

and then @sethmachine answered by

Do you mean creep camp distance, which is how far a creep will chase an enemy before they return to their origin?

to which you said

It is called "Creeps - Guard Distance" in Contants.

And that's how drama is made

 

[plumsy460]

Ups sorry. I think this is a misunderstanding, my bad.
I was well aware of the Constants when I made this topic. But that function defines guard distance for -ALL- units.

The question was regarding -specific- units.

Is there a way to adjust Guard Distance for specific units?

Aquisition range in object editor.

 

[plumsy460]

Thank you, I am well aware of that.

I would also like to point out that aquisition range and guard distance are NOT the same, and have entirely different functions.

So far I conclude that there is no way to adjust GUARD DISTANCE for SPECIFIC units.

t defines -assist range-, meaning the distance required for units to assist friendly units being attacked.

This is "Creeps - Call for help range".

There is indeed no way to set it for specific units.
