So as we kow crossbow expert negates the disadvantage fro shooting someone withing 5ft. Does this mean they can get flanking bonus? Also the attack is still ranged right? so does it still have disadvantage for prone target of does it also get advantage because the character is within 5ft.?
The range attack disadvantage is not from shooting 5 feet but when an hostile creature is within 5 feet of you. Meaning if you shoot a target 40 feet away but a hostile creature next of you get disadvantage. But if you shooting for example an object at you feet with no enemy near you make a normal roll.
Flanking is optional rule in 5e but if you meat the requirements of it those people who are flanking do get advantage on melee attacks. So your ranged attack won't benefit from it but you do give flanking advantage bonus to your opposite player if he attacking melee.
It indeed still ranged attack you do get advantage if you shooting somebody who prone 5 feet of you.
