Unit range help

[Axe.killer]

I need help with an item. When a hero picks up the item, his range increases by 300. Then when he drops it, it decreases by 300. However, when you use the upgrade long rifles, when u drop it once and pick it up, it dosent work any more. The unit has its original range, with the item in his inventory. It works if the hero dosent drop it.

 

[Tom Jones]

It still works. Once you upgraded it will stay upgraded, regardless of your hero having the item or not. But i believe nightelf got a skill that does that excat thing. It's called longbows as far as i remember.

Detect when the unit drops the item and set the upgrade level to 0 via triggers.

[Axe.killer]

There are 2 upgrades, based of the long rifles ability. one with +300 incriments, and one with -300 incriments. There are 1000 levels to the upgrades, so someone wont be able to bug.

But it'll be damn laggy for load. Simply use 0 levels, it should work.

 

[Axe.killer]

It wont be that laggy. 1000 upgrades with no tooltips i dont think would be laggy at all as apposed to unit lag. The 0 upgrade dosent work because you cant degrade a unit.

Well instead of upgrading why dont you do somthing easy like

Not sure if it will work because i dont spend much time with things such as changing range but its worth a try. Also to decrease the effect just replace the things with the oppisite of what they are. Such as aquires item would be loses/dropped the item. And the + would be a - .


Also make sure you put conditon as the item that they picked up. This way it will be differnt for each bow (long/short/greater/lesser ect.)
