attack based by distance

[newcivs]

I mod the Pil Mahalmit's actor, i put a ptolomeaic tower and a javelinist inside and i have a question:

how i can put an attack based on distance:

the means the if the unit detects enemies on shoot distance of javelinists the javelinist gonna shoot their javelins, and if the enemies are nearing into the elephants the melee attack begins

This is not possible yet, but we're thinking about how to do it.

You can give two attacks already, but the selection between the two won't be very good.

Are you talking about javelinist in towers? Or ontop an elephant?

I think via JavaScript you could decide yourself which unit to attack. So compare the nearest enemy position to your units position and decide whether the javelins' reach is enough. Once the enemies are coming too close draw back the javelinists and send in the melee. (all in javascript)
