Why different commands give different values for weapon range for the same unit?

Swift: wiki says: laser range 667, missile 530.

With a swift selected in game, UnitDefs[GetUnitDefID(uid)].maxWeaponRange gives 667.

But GetUnitMaxRange(uid) gives 600.

Also Spring.GetUnitWeaponState( uid, 1, "range" ) gives 600
while Spring.GetUnitWeaponState( uid, 2, "range" ) gives 530

So I'm totally confused with these 3 different values for 2 weapons.

May be 600 is the ground projection of 667 with default altitude of the swift = 300? But sqrt(667^2-300^2)=595, not exactly 600...

Can anybody help?

According to the unit file, the ranges of the two weapons are 667 and 530. The 600 must be something strange. I'd first check the C++ implementation of Spring.GetUnitWeaponState, then Spring.GetUnitMaxRange. If this remains unconclusive, maybe there is a gadget that applies some strange things on the unitDef, maybe in an attempt to prohibit Swift fire while landed.

Max Weapon range is the range the unit will walk into to fire. This can be altered via a custom param (combat range?). What you want is UnitDefs[unitDefID].weapons[i].range where i is the weapon number with starting index 1 or WeaponDefs[UnitDefs[unitDefID].weapons[i].id].range .
