Change Model Height

[Edgecrusher021]

I'm trying to use a spaceship as a boat (in water) and the model ends up being placed halfway submerged and half above water.

Can I increase the height of the model without making its movement type 'fly' or editing the model file?
I want it to sit comfortably on the water and still keep the 'Float' movement type.

Also this model tracks the shallow water terrain contours. So it will change height based on the terrain below the water level. Can I get rid of that using world editor?

Sticky business.

1) No, the only way to change unit height is making it flyable and setting Flying Height with trigger, or doing that in the Object Editor already.

2) I believe I heared something about height checking somewhere on this forum, but I think that'll only be possible in JASS. I'm not entirely sure though, but that's the best shot you've got.

Well damn. Thanks for responding so I can move on.

Do the fly height crow form trick when the unit spawns/whatever.

try setting it to hover and change its flying hight via triggers AND object editor
might just work

But he wants it to be aquatic. If it hovered it would be able to move on land.

extensive placing of region and make the unit move back towards sea if it comes to close?

Yeah, I think you can change the flying height if the unit has the crow form ability.

Too bad, because he wants sea units to have heights.
