Instead of that "Metamorphosis" spell it suggests, i would use "Crow Form". Just add "Crow form" to the unit, remove it instantly afterwards and then, you can adjust its height.
E.g.

• Trigger
• Actions
  • Unit - Add (Crow Form) to <your unit>
  • Unit - Remove (Crow Form) from <your unit>
  • Animation - Set flying height of <your unit> to X at X.00

Basically, you cannot change flying height of ground units, but if you add them metamorphosis or crow form and remove them right after that, you can then change flying height:

• Animation - Set flying height

I think it goes something like that...

Could I change height just by adding a flying classification to unit?

• Animation - Change NETtarget flying height to 10.00 at 0.00

and what "at" stands for?

That's the speed at which you want the unit to ascend. A value of 0 means it goes instantly.

I would say no.

and what "at" stands for?

Element of Water answered that one well. Btw, it's called "rate".

Flying classification difines whether that unit is going to be hit by spells that allows targeting flying units or not and whether the unit can still be attacked by units that are allowed to hit air units.

if your unit is set to flying in object editor than you don't need to add storm crow? (Its for dummy unit to set height of triggered chain lightning)

EDIT: tested it out, you don't need storm crow

I need to change unit's height through trigger.

Maybe font size of 10 was a bit too big...

Try some stuff with the destroyer ability. I think if you add that ability to a unit in-game you can freely modify flying height.

i think someone misunderstood me:

-if your unit has Movement Type- Flying then you don't need to add storm crow to change height with triggers.
-if your unit has Movement Type- Foot then you have to add storm crow to change height with triggers.

Yeye, only changing the classification doesn't help. I worked it out.

Ok I think this is pretty much solved, it really doesn't matter how many abilities you can add and remove to enable changing flying height of ground units.

Just add the trigger

• actions
  • Animation - change unit flying height to 300.0

and use the crow thingy's to its just 3 min work

Yeah, if you read the thread you'd see it's already solved. Don't post solutions in solved threads unless they are better than the solutions already given.
