Yards to Range

[Spoontoobig]

Hello,

How much range is one yard ?

It's like asking how much meters is 1.00 range. I don't think you will achieve anything in the Wc3 environment.
World of Warcraft assimilates this as a value but in an imaginable manner. You won't find the exact value, without loads of testing.

Hm... I though that 1 yard is like 10 range... ... Maybe someone already tested and will say... :> Will wait for a while...

One could give a very rough approximation, but no exact value can be given.

To my experience, 1 meter in the Wc3 would be around 128-150 max. range, so, 1 yard would be around 100 range.

To my experience, 1 meter in the Wc3 would be around 128-150 max. range, so, 1 yard would be around 100 range.

Using that, a footmen would be around 0.5-0.6m tall.

Wc3 isn't really realistically proportional. You'll have to define one object as the "standard" and work from there.

If you want to get a better feeling for ranges in the editor:

When you're in the terrain window and press G some times, you'll see a grid.

The smallest (grey) grid has a width of 32.
The medium (white) grid has a width of 128.
The big (yellow) grid has a width of 512.

So a hero with range 512 can shoot exactly across one yellow square.

Yeah there is a little problem with unit/building proportion, most of the buildings would be like 3x3 meters wide
However humans are 90 points tall, let's say they have 180 cm, so 1 range is 2 cm in unit measure. (0,8 inches)
