How to create lightning effect with Z offset by trigger

How to create lightning effect with Z offset,
mean lightning effect with fly height.

 

[UreDe4D]

you could use a dummy unit which looks like a lightning and make it flying

i need the lightning effect,
like chain lightning, there got a lightning from a point meet to another point.
It could be long and short.
i think there got no model file could be like that.
but if got, the properties of the model file is not same with lightning effect.

i also tried that but it doesn't work as the lightning effect always appears at the ground. the only thing you can do is to give an invisible dummy unit a lightning attack witn 0.00 cooldown and no damage and look if that works

:/ its not included in GUI ?
sad
there is an "AddLightningEx" in jass which does that

 

[jareph]

may you give me the code?
i m jass stupid
and i will get the code into the custom script.

 

[Need_O2]

Custom string: set bj_lastCreatedLightning = AddLightningEx("<lightning code>",true,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2)
for checking the lightning codes create a GUI lightning creater action
convert it to jass and look from there
they are like "CHLP" (I mean 4 character string)
after than use it with Last Created Lightning Effect when destroying or setting it to a variable

... you got me

 

[jareph]

yeah it great.
but can i move it and not recreate it?
and 1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2 is a point or coordinate?

 

[Need_O2]

MoveLightning(lightning,true,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2) as I remember

 

[jareph]

MoveLightning(lightning,true,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2) as I remember

Hohoho, thx for the information.
its true about 95%
in a very lucky situation i found out what the wrong.
its leak a Ex word
very luckily i found the answer from you:
Call MoveLightningEx(lightning,true,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2) as I remember

thankyou very much
