[General] Mapping question.

[BlackRangerXIII]

Just for context: in Warhammer 40k Dawn of War series, there's a system that allows a unit to enter melee as soon as an enemy unit gets into melee range.
My question is, if it's possible to make that without using triggers or @Maker's system?

No.
You can make abilities that change between melee and ranged, but only manually.
If you want something that automatically switches between melee/ranged attack you need triggers.

What's the problem with triggers?
It should not be too hard. If you only use one attack index on a unit you can use orb abilities to activate a second attack index (would be index 1 then) and change the unit to melee attack as soon as it attacks a nearby unit. If it does something else you make it ranged again.

Yeah
I'll use Maker's System
