Temporary range increase

[bountygiver]

Is there any way to make range bonuses temporary, so that I can remove the bonus with triggers as I want?

I've tried with setting research levels, but it is not reversible, even with jass.


BTW, thanks in advance.

it is not reverseable? so you cannot make a higher level that reduces the range again or set the research again to zero?

Nope, you cant reverse upgrades. Changing units attack range for a short time is not possible, afaik.

what about giving the unit a trueshot aura in a disable spell book? then remove it when your done.

 

[raft_pl]

Trueshot aura increases ranged damage, not attack range...

Replace the unit with another unit with greater range. Or use the metamorphosis spell.

 

[bountygiver]

Well, seems like I really have to use metamorphosis. Guess we can't always do things the FAST way.

BTW. Thanks for the advice.

You can use the rifleman range upgrade...

 

[bountygiver]

As I have mentioned above, the rifleman range upgrade is irreversible.

Never mind, since I can use Metamorphosis as a replacement, I'll consider my problem solved.

If you have time, can you please help me take a look at my other thread?
I have a really strange problem with a hero ability using JASS.

Well - you could give the unit a standard range of i.e. 900 and setting the acquisition rate to 800
Then, trigger an increasement of that acquisition range to 900 and set it back after a certain amount of time

I see. Wonder why I didn't thought about it XD. Thanks for the advice.
