Melee attack range

[_MB_]

Hello, when a melee unit attacks another unit and the attacked unit moves away, sometimes it is hit and sometimes the attacking unit misses. Can i find out somehow, how far must the attacked unit be from the attacker to be missed?

You can set this value in "Combat - Attack x - Range Motion Buffer". Default is 250.

I didn't know that was what it was used for, good to know.

This is also somewhat affected by the units own range. In a map of mine I have one unit type with a very short melee range and it can't hit moving targets. Yet, all others can in most cases.

In short the range motion buffer is just the range a target may walk beyond max range of the attacker to still getting hit/have a projectile released. So of course attack range affects whether a target is hit.
