Range change

[Superclaude]

How do i change the range of unit like a melee units attacks range.

 

[Need_O2]

Make 2 units of same unit
make one meele
and other ranged

Make a metamorphosis with 0 (0 = unlimited) duration that morphes between them

OR

give unit 20000 range
and change its aqusition range with triggers

 

[Kwah]

Or make dud abilities and use triggers to replace/select the units instead of morphing them. Not sure why but you could. Metamorphosis some times has issues.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Or give the unit the attack range bonus ability. You know the one that the riflemen have in melee.
I think I would do it with NeedO2's first suggestion though.

 

[NhazUl]

A "melee" unit with 20000 range will attack a visible target out of, say, his 128 acquisition range if ordered to.

Replacement by triggers may be a solution, but loss of selection is awkward and the variables for avoiding it are a pain in the ass.

A footman with a range increase upgrade will still be able to attack ground units only, as if his sword was enlarged.

Metamorphosis/Bear Form/Crow Form is the best solution.
