Lightning Effect Height Increasing?

[Yours Truly]

Heyho,all.
Can anyone tell me how to increase a triggered lightning effect's height?It doesn't have to be an ability,since the lightning effect is not going to be permanent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated : )
Thx

By height you mean, Z?

I think what you need is this:

native MoveLightningEx takes lightning whichBolt, boolean checkVisibility, real x1, real y1, real z1, real x2, real y2, real z2 returns boolean

Or on creation:

native AddLightningEx takes string codeName, boolean checkVisibility, real x1, real y1, real z1, real x2, real y2, real z2 returns lightning

If you don't want to use jass you could give this a try: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...gui-223214/?prev=search=lightning&d=list&r=20

To be more clearly,I want the lightning to fly in the air.Does the system you posted makes what I need?

Just look at the screenshot for the linked system.

Spoiler

yes

The system works with these natives. Using them will give you more control; but if you'd like to use that system, no problem.

I'd rather create my own system for that. [emphasis on I]

Sorry for the thread revival.
But I need to know if it's possible to guess a lightning's duration.
It'll be like, the lightning has no duration until a gold mine is depleted.

Not sure how you detect if a goldmine is depleted. Because I have never tried.

I assume you can check if unit is alive, not quite sure though.

Provided you know how to do that part, it's pretty easy. Just make a looping trigger and count.

 

[Yours Truly]

Well,yeah.But how can I detect which lightning relates to the gold mine?Example :
If gold mine A dies,lightning effect A dies.Same goes to B,C,etc...
(I'm using the Simple Lightning Handling system)

OHHH

Now I understand your question. I only got one solution that works perfectly/flawlessly and it requires vjass.

However, it depends on the specific scenario. It is certainly possible without vjass in many cases. You could of course save all lightnings you attach to the goldmine in an array but I am not sure if that's possible when using the system. Vjass might be your only hope if you want to use that system.
