How do I make ranged units have more range?

[Cookin_With_Coolio]

Whenever I have unit have their range set at more than 500, I'll test the map, and it will be 500 in the map.How do I fix this?

You have to change 2 fields in object editor, 1 is attack range and second is acquisition range.

Are you sure you edited the "Combat - Attack 1 - Range"? It should work :S

Thanks! Now how do I say this thing is solved?

I figured I would throw this in, the range is actually limited by the Acquisition Range. Make sure the Acquisition Range is greater than the range and you shouldn't have any problems.

EDIT: Oops I was completely wrong, this is right^^ Even with 3000 range unit can't attack further than aquisition range.

Of course you can. Aquisition Range is only the sight-field where the enemy have to be in before your unit attacks automatically, if you click manually on ya enemy, your unit will nevertheless attack him.(Maybe I'm Wrong, dunno, but that worked for me).

My 150. Post. The Half of 300 ^^

I just tested it. The Acquisition Range needs to be longer than the actual Attack Range. I tried it with a Rifleman with 20000 attack range, 600 Acquisition Range, and he had to run up to the target (iseedeadpeople was on, so I could see everything), and then tried it with the Acquisition Range also bumped up to 20000, and he could shoot across the map.

The game caps the attack range to the acquisition range. In fact, if a unit has 20000 attack range and 600 acq range, the in-game tooltip where you hover over the attack type icon will even say 600 instead of 20000.
