Help with using lightning effects!

[Lingonberryjam]

Ello! Im currently working on tower wars, and i need help with those lightning effects. My current trigger for a tower:
lightning effect
Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Lightning Turret
Actions
Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source (Position of (Attacking unit)) to target (Position of (Attacked unit))
Wait 0.10 seconds
Lightning - Destroy (Last created lightning effect)


Got it? Now heres the problem: The lightning effects source is not as high as i want it to be (its origin is at the bottom of the tower). I use a Arcane Tower model btw. So how do i raise the source and target? It sure looks ugly now...

Why are you creating the lightning effect with a trigger when you can just use that as a projectile?

Set the towers projectile to chimera/lightning attack. Set target art to the target art of chain lightning. Give the tower the ability "lightning attack".

For a chain lightning, just change the actions to:

Order attacking unit to cast - Far seer - chain lightning to (attacked target)

Of course you'll hafta give the unit chain lightning. Lightning attack works fine for single targets. I ahd this problem in my Tower Defense with my lightning dragon i forgot who but someone answered my question with this, it saved my life
U cant have "lightning attack" work on bouncing attacks btw

He just wants a single target

So then just make it one target. That works. What mini-me said doesn't answer your question I don't think, for he's using it when it attacks, not when it is attacked.

Or just use Lightning Attack.

He is using it because he didnt know about the lightning attack. His question has been answered. Dont over think this. Just leave it.

THANKS ALOT. though the most of it was unnecesarry . Yes i meant just a single target, and i noticed that lightning attack didnt work with bounce. Maybe i should make a chain lightning, but i think im fine with one target (btw i would have figured out the chain lightning trigger myself :roll: ). thanks alot anyway.
