Dummy unit too high

[Erkki2]

I've made a spell which creates a dummy unit and moves it in a line. I have set unit's movement type to fly and height to 10 in object editor, and I don't change unit's height via triggers. However, when casting this spell near cliffs, the dummy unit is created above the casting unit. How could I make the dummy stay on the ground?

EDIT: I uploaded an image to clarify what's going on. In the upper image I'm casting the spell near a cliff (about 500 away), and the lower image I'm fcasting the spell far away from cliffs.

Add the ability 'locust' to it.

Thanks, but it already has locust.

Try turning off the collision of the dummy unit or make it to 0 because dummy are still units and of course, they will have conflict with the cliff.

Can you upload the map for us to see?

Actually, I had the same problem as Errki2 and I never did get to solve it. I thought turning off the collision would solve the problem but it didn't. Whether you set collision size to 0 or turn it off through triggers it doesn't work.

It's because it's a flying unit. Set it to a foot unit and remove collision via triggers.

Set movement type to foot or none in object editor, and add/remove storm crow form to/from the unit to enable flying.

It will then behave differently than a unit which has movement type "fly" in object editor.

Edit: Thanks! I changed the movement type to foot, it still looked strange. Then I changed it to none, and now it works as it should.
