Changing the range of a unit

[Mapster]

Is there a way of changing the range of a unit when channeling a spell every few seconds until the skill has been turned off?

Such as:

Click Button
Wait 1 second
Range increases by 100
Wait 1 second
Range increases by 100
Wait 1 second
Range increases by 100
Abilities end but skill is still on.

Click button again.
Range is set to normal.

Rep is given for anyone that is able to help

Cheers,
Mapster

Upgrades
1 Upgrade that increases range. with triggers, research the upgrade, and then to take it off, Upgrade but with negative range (I wonder if that's possible )

Using and upgrade for a skill is a bad idea but thanks.

You can use dummy units.
Create 1 dummy unit (Range is 100 more than the caster) at position of caster for caster.
Wait 1 Second
Repeat, but with a different dummy unit that has 100 more range than the previous

One question... what kind of range are we talking about? The range to attack, or to see?
I think there's an item ability that increases range.

 

[Trollvottel]

you could set the range to a high value and set the acquisition range ( cant write that) higher

I'm talking Range of attack.
The aquidistant range is jsut the site which the unit will start to attack from isn't it?

yea I would go with the dummy units.

unit begins the effect of an ability
ability = your ability
wait 1 sec
create dummy unit with range that you want
wait 1 sec
kill that dummy unit
create another one with 100 more

But he doesn't want visual range, he wants the range (how far you can attack range)

Not to mention dummies are lame for attack.

There should be an ability that actually adds range. It comes with an item. Check item abilities. It's in there
Modify it to be a unit ability, then give it 3 levels, and level it with triggers.

Nop thats about what i want ESB

Are dummy units are just duplicates of the original?

EDIT:
Hah you bet my post

 

[esb]

Well thats what i said/meant in my first post >_<

I don't think there's any way to increase range with an ability, item or otherwise.

dummy units are invisible units that do stuff. to make it invisible make the model none.mdx or something similar
