range problem (again)

[greda23]

i know there were a lot of topics with range problems but i didn't find exactly answer to my question with search of past threads.

i need an item that increases range of a unit, so not permanently, but as long as unit carries that item.

if it's necessary to use triggers please show me how

You CAN increase Unit's Range of Attack (use Upgrade, Long Rifle) but you can't REVERSE the effect
As seen in DotA game (if you play, you will know this)
Enchantress can get a Scepter right ?
The effect on her is +her range of attack
Once bought Scepter in her item list, you CANNOT drop the item
This shows that the process is IRREVERSIBLE

ya, I need something like that too. I'm making a shooter deathmatch map where there is a sniper rifle that gives very long range. Maybe we can give the unit 1800 attack range but only give it like 600 range of Sight, so it can only shoot so far, but then you increase its range of sight through the item so the "range" increases.

 

[defskull]

By manipulating the "Sight of the Unit" is possible
But we can't manipulate increase/decrease/reset the Attack Range of a unit

 

[spasms]

agreed. btw defskull, I used a dummy spell for "shooting", but I can't seem to get the right triggers for an ammo count. I can do the triggers for reloading but can you help me with creating the ammo count trigger?

 

[defskull]

Ammo count is usually used based on Golds or Lumber
No other than that

ok thanks

you may use 'chaos' ability to make a non-range unit to range OR make a short range unit to long range...you must edit 2 units in object editor though...

maybe the second attack index (which can be activated with items like orbs or abilities like root) is what you are looking for

 

[spasms]

problem is I am only limited to the 2 ranges of attack 1 and attack 2 of that unit, say 125 (melee) and 600 (ranged), I cant just add say another 120 to the 600 ranged attack

 

[mckill2009]

then use dummies and put it in the position of the tower...you can have as much dummies you want...

Give him infinte (or just a large amount) of range and then run a trigger upon an attack order and order the unit to stop if the range is above what you want.
