Limitless distance attack?

[Paillan]

I need a unit to attack really far (1500) but it always ends up apearing with a range of 500 in game, while the mortar team can attack further... How can I make any unit attack the same and/or more than the mortar team?

Change the Acquisition Range

._. that's what I did you think I am so noob? xd I set adcquisition range to 1500 but the range in game is 500...

Gameplay Constants I guess?

 

[Paillan]

That may help, I will give it a try.
EDIT: I didn't found anything usefull.

 

[NightStalker]

i searched the constants too nothing about acqusition or attack range

 

[Paillan]

There must be a way... I once saw a unit with 2000 attack range in a TD... saddly the TD was protected.

 

[cboy123]

Wait... I remember something... checking it...

Update:

Acquisition Range refers to "What range this unit will check a target"
and
Range refers to "How far can it attack."

You must have a higher Acquisition Range than the range.

Ahhh, I found it, thanks.

It should be noted that changing acquisition range using triggers will not alter range. Only in the object editor does it limit maximum range.

Well, thnks but I didn't need that

It should be noted that changing acquisition range using triggers will not alter range. Only in the object editor does it limit maximum range.

It will only alter idle/attack ground attack range and aggro range. As the editor acquisition range limits the max attack range in nearly all cases, SetUnitAcquireRange is limited in its use.

That is exactly what your quoted post says

 

[Ezekiel12]

That is exactly what your quoted post says

To make it clear, two example uses:

If SetUnitAcquireRange is low (51) and the editor value is high (99999), a ground attacking unit will in most cases not "see" enemies and pass them (there are exceptions ofc, e.g. damage events, spellcasts or calls for help from allies) though it could attack them with a direct attack.

If SetUnitAcquireRange is high (99999) and the editor value is low (100), an idling/ground attacking unit will charge enemies across the whole map but can attack them only in the small range (again there are exceptions, neutral units for example are not attacked until they start aggro)

I didn't ask for all that information but go on you guys
