[Unsolved] Attack Action Actor launch site ops problem

[Varimathras.]

Hi guys,

in my TD i have a tower that uses a model that has no attachment point (warcraft doodad model).
the problem is that the projectile launches from the ground (z=0)
what i want to achieve is that it launches from somewhere above the ground (what i could easily achieve by setting LaunchAttachQuery to origin and use a site op that moves it up - for towers that have the origin attachment point)
i played around a lot with the LaunchSiteOps but nothing changes at all

does anyone know how to fix this?

does noone have an idea?
or is the problem unclear?

Try setting the launch offset Z for the missile launch effect to something greater than 0. If it cannot interpolate missile actor position from an attachment point it should fall back to the origin of the missile unit, which can be offset via the missile launch effect.

thanks for the answer! i didnt even think of looking into the launch effect...

but even adjusting that launch offset does not move it up, still the (parabola --> guided) mover uses it to calculate its horizontal speed, which lets the missile slow down at the end.

i managed to solve it now: in the launch effect i set LaunchLocation to Source POINT (instead of source unit) and now the LaunchSiteOps in the attack action actor do work as it now uses the global coordinate system
