ability that increases attack range?

[isaax190]

well i saw it on object editor upgrades tab....
but are there any other ability that increases attack range on the ability tab?

 

[Accname]

as far as i know the only way to increase attack range is using upgrades or 2 different unit types and switching them.
if you are using upgrades you wont be able to decrease the attack range anymore.

 

[demotry241]

upgrade , long rifles...
ability , it was a dummy ability
then when the two powers combined via trigger.
we get an ability that increases range.

 

[Slapshot136]

if you are using upgrades you wont be able to decrease the attack range anymore.

you can make another upgrade that decreases attack range, although it wont work infinite times

    Events
        Unit - A unit Learns a skill
    Conditions
        (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to (Your ability here)
    Actions
        Player - Set the current research level of (Improved Bows) to (Level of (Your ability here)  for (Triggering unit)) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

This will increase the units range, but its acquisition range will stay the same. So you need this:

    Events
        Unit - A unit Learns a skill
    Conditions
        (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to (Your Ability)
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Level of (Your Ability)  for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Set (Triggering unit) acquisition range to 750.00
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Level of (Your Ability)  for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 2
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Set (Triggering unit) acquisition range to 850.00
                    Else - Actions
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)............................

And put as many levels as you want for your hero, and as much acquisition range as you want.

 

[Charapanga]

Base a research off the long rifles upgrade and make the unit you want the range increased effected by the research, simple as that

and if you want to decrease the range use negative numbers

 

[Jolly chap*]

You can also base your upgrade with Long Bows. Pretty much the same thing, anyway.

 

[Weyrling]

If you intend it to switch back and forth at will, you should use a unit-replace ability instead.

What if the unit was a Hero?

 

[Tyman2007]

then set variables with all hero's attributes, items, and learned skills like with a S/L code, then create a new one using those set variables.

 

[Accname]

and what with his health/mana? tomes he got? what with his cooldowns? you got to think a little bit more about "transforming" a unit into another one. its not that easy.

 

[Tyman2007]

Health/Mana = Real
Tomes = Current Attributs (Integer)
Cooldowns = Screw em, just make sure the transformed unit has to wait a little before he can use the ability again.

 

[Accname]

i havent ment the stats with the tomes. there are tomes which increase the max health as well.

 

[I_RULE_YOU]

I thought he just wanted an ability that increased his attack range.

 

[isaax190]

yeah just increase the attack range...
but then again its a buff skill...
therefore when the skill expires it needs to return to its normal range...

EDIT:
there's a problem...
how can we change the one who gets the range bonus?
well improved bow works for archer and hyppogryph riders...
and long rifles works for riflemen...
putting those skills will just increased the range of the riflemen or archer...

EDIT AGAIN:
i tried using the set acquisition range to 2000...
but still the range wont change to 2000 instead just to its original range...

 

[isaax190]

bump

 

[the_ideal]

My suggestion: give the unit a really high attack range, like 99999.
Acquisition range will also limit attack range, so from here just set the acquisition range to whatever you want the unit's range to be.

 

[isaax190]

well i tried changing the range to 9999 and trigger the range acq to 2000...
still it doesn't change

 

[Tyman2007]

Sadly you can't alter a units aquisition range through upgrading or a trigger, only the attack range.

If you set the Acq range to 9999 it will attack any enemy on the map.

If you set the Acq range to 1 and the range to 20000 it will only attack a unit on command.

The only way to alter it is with a second unit.

2nd unit???
dummy???

EDIT:
eeer changing the acq range to 1 makes the unit melee range type...
whenever i change the acq range of a unit the attack range changes too...
i mean changing it on the object editor
