I am making an ability which uses an arrow for a shockwave's missile, however the arrow seem to be attached to the ground. :xxd:
How do you make a shockwave's missile appear higher?
Changing the missile arc doesn't seem to work :(

How high off the ground do you want the arrow? What do you want it to look like?
After trying it out with Carrion Swarm and changing the values, it looks decent using a Ballista arrow.

EDIT:
Well, it does go over cliffs and terrain in a weird way.
You could make a triggered shockwave with an "arrow" flying dummy unit moving like a running projectile and damaging things around it periodically as it moves.

You mean the night elf ballista projectile, where you found it as wasn't it removed in Frozen Throne and replaced with glaive?

Even if so, the files should be still there.
Also, there are quite a few ballista arrows in the game. I think there is a tower, night elf and a neutral one.

PS: There are files in the game from the time when it was a 3rd person RPG.
