Fly Height

[Ultimatony]

So I have a trigger that spawns a unit. The unit has move fly, and has no pathing so it doesn't bump into anything.

• Animation - Change (Last created unit) flying height to 0.00 at 0.00

I put this into the trigger so the unit wouldn't be way into the air when it spawned, but it didn't seem to work, is 0 not the ground? and the 2nd number, what is it for?

Thanks for any info.

Well I suck at gui, and I can only tell you that the second number is the rate (so if you put the first number to 100 and second 50, it will take the unit 2 seconds to get to that height). 0 is the ground.

height 0 is on the ground
the second o is the speed at which the unit will be moved
e.g. the unit has a flying height of 300 and I change its height to 0 at 300 it will take me one second until the unit is on the ground

by the way: if you want to change the height of non-flying units you can add and remove the storm crow form ability to and from the wanted unit and it will work as if it was flying

and if it does not work at all you should change the "last created unit" to something more appropiate (dunno what cause you don't give any information about this)
however good luck

Oh yea, if you already placed a unit in your map, last created unit wont work. You have to click Select Unit and then select your unit.

If you set the second number to 0, it will change the flying height instantly.

Units have a minimum fly height in the object editor

Dont know whether this can already fix your problem...

Besides that, units flying with a height of 0 still get into the air near cliffs, that is to smooth the movment of flying units, but is annoying in this case... well no way to fix it except for using another pathing type...

if its really important: choose a pathing type you do not use normally, like maybe water? do yo use water on your map?
because then, you can make the whole map pathable for water units at map initialization via a little (but slow) script, make your unit use that pathing type and it should always walk on the ground...

It might of been the cliff sides that were messing it up, I'll just switch it back to hover :/

Thanks for help.
