[JASS] SetUnitAcquireRange() not working

[Spellbound]

So I'm trying to increase the attack range of a unit. I see the range to 700 and the acquisition range to 400. Then, after an specific event, I call SetUnitAcquireRange(unit, 700), but the range remains 400. Does SetUnitAcquireRange() not work? I though maybe acqure range can't be set past the default, so I set it to 700 on the object editor and then reduced it to 400 when the unit was indexed, but even that didn't work. Any thoughts?

Before you ask, yes, the event is indeed firing correctly and the proper variables are being used. The unit has a ranged attack (Missile) as well. SetUnitAcquireRange() is literally the only thing that doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I just made a short Test and it seems that you can´t manipulate the attack range of a unit with the function SetUnitAcquireRange().
You can manipulate the Acquire Range and this works (in my test i´ve set the acquire range of a unit to 10000 and it started to move torwards the next enemy unit) but it seems that it doesn´t affect the attack range at all.

An idea could be to replace the unit with another unit having the same stats but a different attack range. Then make the player select the unit and maybe safe the original unit´s target for the new one.
Sorry but for now i can only offer this workarround.

You will have a difficult time if using triggers alone, could use object editor stuff too. Web/ensnare is one method.

Seems quite pointless to have the ability to modify acquisition range when it doesn't do anything beyond limit range. I guess I'll have to resort to passive transformation then :/

Never know, maybe there is some hidden/secret trick waiting to be discovered as usual.
Change Unit Attack-Type, Damage and Range in-game Reveals that there is stuff to be found still plus it is quite neat.
