Removing a ranged attacker mid-attack.

[DistantHaze]

Does removing a ranged unit (such as an archer) also remove its missle if that missle is mid-air?

call RemoveUnit (ranged_unit)

No..

 

[DistantHaze]

So if a ranged attack (Unit A) is removed just as that unit fires a missile, and that missile happens to kill another unit (Unit B), what would the following function return? Unit A or null?

    set kill_unit = GetKillingUnit ()

Units still exist for several minutes after they die. Corpses are also units, except they are disabled and showing decay animations.

null

edit/ @ fingolfin he said "remove" not kill. Theoretically your correct if it is killed not removed, as long as the missle hits before decay time

Holy shit!
This gives me an amazing idea for a projectile system with support for several thousands of projectiles with almost no lag! :O
