I wonder about this though... range 0 probably at least has a little leeway. If you have some zerglings attacking something, and then another comes along, it can occasionally get behind 2 and attack between them, without getting too close. So it's probably not exactly "0" even if the variable says that. Is it basically the square the zergling's in, or what?

Almost all melee units have the exact same range, so that if one can attack, they can both attack eachother. That makes me believe it's the distance from the outside that matters. The exceptions are Ultras (longer range), SCVs (shorter range), Broodlings (very short range), Drones/Probes (actually have a range of 1 square), and Infested Terrans (very short range). I honestly don't know how it works. I just tested with flame traps, and my ghost killed 4 different numbers of flame traps in the up/down/left/right direction. Up was 252, Down was 250, left was 248, and right was 247.

That's weird... they're so close but all different... wth.

Here's the map I used. Bring a unit to the upper left and he'll be transported to the middle of the cross of wall traps. There shouldn't be a trap on the very center.

I also noticed that the direction you approach a bunker matters. Load a bunker with hero ghosts and attack it with a reaver. Depending on from where you attack the bunker it will fight back, or not. And NO, I don't mean the bug where the reaver walks closer that he would have to.
