I was wondering if there is getHeroAttackRange() function like that

[Deftsu]

GetRange(unit) / unit.range

[Krystra]

GetRange(unit) / unit.range

to follow up on Deftsu's reply:

basic attack range works differently to spell ranges

spell range is calculated from center to center of both units' model whereas attack range is from the edge of each unit's hitbox

 

so your basic attack range in GoS would be calculated like:

local attackRange = GetHitBox(source) + GetRange(source)

then you would need to check if the distance to the unit minus their hitbox radius is within that range:

if GetDistance(source, target) - GetHitBox(target) < attackRange then
