Add range with items?

[NeuroToxin]

Is it possible, when a unit acquires an item, that you add range?

Yes, through the use of upgrades; use a modified Long Rifles.

Can you remove it too? Im making a map, with a bunch of custom weapons, and they start out with a sword, then a gun drops randomly somewhere along the line, and it has to increase the range, but if they drop it, it has to reduce the range, etc. get what I mean? And can you reduce/give damage/speed?

you cannot decrease upgrade levels so this solution doesnt work.

On-Topic: no, unfortunately attack range is one of the few things you cannot change ingame.

You can add sight range though.

It is actually possible to change a units attackrange. I have done it using the mountaingiants pick up tree ability and some triggers. I tried to write an explanation about how it is done but i believe it is much easier to watch my map. This is probably not perfect and it was a few years ago I created this but it is playable. Feel free to use anything you find in there. And ask if you need an explanation of anything in there.

Another way to solve this would be to use some kind of bearform/crowform etc ability to switch between multiple clones of the same unit but with different attack range.
