Hashtable - Save Z[Loop] as Id of ChestZIndex in AttachmentZHashtable

Custom script: set udg_Id = GetUnitTypeId(udg_LoadUnit)
Set Variable ZHeight = Load Id of ChestZIndex from AttachmentZHashtable

Thank you for answer. Lightning through custom scripts works fine at most, but it's buggy sometimes (as for me, it just doesn't appear for some reason in ~20-25% cases). Gotta try your method tomorrow!Closest thing you can do is get a unit's projectile launch/impact-Z / flying height using blizzard functions. That being said, if your map doesn't have too many units you could define these values yourself.
Basically something like this:
Well, actually you'd want to save it in a Hashtable since the unit id is too long to fit into an [Index]:
Id and Loop are Integer variables that you'd need to create yourself.
Then whenever you want to get a unit's Chest Z-height you simply Load their Unit-Type Id from the Hashtable referencing the Chest Index:
Last time I tried using Lightning in Reforged I couldn't get it to work at all. Search around Hive because other people have made posts about it.
