Unlimited Range!! ??

[Etzer]

Hi, im making a mini game where you have to shoot at the rigth time to hit the target

Questions:

How do i make unlimited range? i tried it once, so i change "combat - range" to 50000 but that dont work!

How do i make them shoot if i press a button (like S) and then the archer shoots a arrow and try to hit a archery target.

thx in advance +rep if u help (ofc )

For a expermiment i once did I removed the units attack completely. Make a dummy ability called ''Shoot'' When it is activated, trigger teh creation of an unit with an very strong permanent immolation(No art) With an arrow model. Order it to go straight ahead and any target in the way is destroyed.

You cant do that? The archer dont got any attack so it is impossible!

Yeah, do it with the method above. It works.

Ok, i just dont understand why.... well whatever

i dont really get it, stuck at the action

trigger teh creation of an unit with an very strong permanent immolation(No art) With an arrow model. Order it to go straight ahead and any target in the way is destroyed.

Well what do you want? A unit doesn't necessarily need an attack to deal damage. It works just fine with a moving target.

Did you change aquistions range too?

or however it's written. It's above splash damage at least.

No dude think. Ill make it simple.
The archer cant use regualr attack, since it would attack as soon as something is in range. A trigger that fires when a ability (Shoot) is casted. It is based of an no target skill like war stomp without effect. The trigger creates a unit with the model of an arrow. It can only move, is not selectable and has a modefied permanent immolation, which gives like 100 damage per second and does not have any visual effect Via the same trigger, the arrow is ordered to move to the other side and is then removed(Experation timer). Any target that is touched by the arrow unit (Like a target) Is once damaged for 100 damage, and if the target dies it can be detected by a trigger.

Explained?

Even if you make the attack range to unlimited, you'd just hit the target straight away without any effort. All attacks are homing enabled.

Thanks dude, so much shit for a single thing to change xD +rep
I only need to shoot on 3 things with the other thing

an easier way is to change your units acquasition range. your maximun range cant be higher than your acquasition range. just make your a. range like 100000000 and then change your range to the same. to make it really high, hold Shift then double click it
