Center attack animation on ground

[GrapesOfWath]

I have a unit whose attack type is set to Instant, and the projectile art is the little green column thing from the Animate Dead spell. Right now though, even after setting Projectile Impact - Z to 0, the green column still gets attached to its target's head, which looks pretty goofy. Is there any way to center the animation on the ground under the unit instead?

Does it happen with all instant missiles?
If not, it is probably a problem with the Animate dead missile
Projectile impact stats has no effect on Instant attacks, origin attachment point does.
Personally, i stopped using Instant attacks as a lot of models do not have the attachment point, if i need it, i use a missile with 10000 missile speed
Edit: Try this edited model and see if it works as intended

You could perhaps remove the art from the attack and then add a passive ability like an orb effect and set the "Art - Target Attachment Point" to "origin", that would make the effect appear at the same location as auras do.


Or actually, isn't this exactly what the ability "lightning attack" that chimera and thunder lizards have is used for?

Though obviously you'd get rid of the lightning effect.

Works great!

Might try this too for buildings though, still looks a little wonky on those
