How do I change the height of lightning

[BloodDrunk]

As the title says.

 

[Flux]

native MoveLightningEx takes lightning whichBolt, boolean checkVisibility, real x1, real y1, real z1, real x2, real y2, real z2 returns boolean

call MoveLightningEx(whichBolt, checkVisibility, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)

the z1 and z2 are the height coordinates.

Whaa? Haha
So how do I implement this?
I have a lightning and I want it to attach to the chest of the caster and target.

In GUI? Use a custom script
You can't attached it to a unit's chest but you can approximate.
Use

GetLocationZ(location)

to know the z coordinates of the unit's location

I still don't get it but nevermind. Haha

• Custom script: call AddLightningEx("DRAL", true, GetLocationX(udg_tloc2), GetLocationY(udg_tloc2), GetLocationZ(udg_tloc2) + 50, GetLocationX(udg_tloc), GetLocationY(udg_tloc), GetLocationZ(udg_tloc) + 295)

This creates a lightning between tloc and tloc2. However, tloc 2 got 50 height and tloc 295 height.

to move the lightning use MoveLightningEx(stuff) instead. Replace DRAL with the lightning of your choice and copy the rest.

To actually understand how to use this properly, go a to a basic jass tutorial and check the section where they call a function.

Sorry, I should have not assumed that you know Jass.

Look at the sample map.

Now that's what I need, good sir.
