Lightning Height

[Spellbound]

I'm making a spell actually and i'm using lightning effects. I would like to know how to impletement a height to the lightning effect with a gui trigger or custom script, but not with JASS. Can someone help me out?

how about creating dummy units at the point of ability being cast and at the casting unit. raise the height of the dummy.

Without JASS you can't do it unless you use QWERTY's method. BUT, through this, you can't make the dummies unselectable (aka give Locust ability) because if you do so, they can't drain each other.

I think i forgot to mention a point. What i want is to have the lightning effect at one end be a certain height while the other end is on the ground. Then i would like the other end (the one on the ground) to move in a given direction. I've already done the moving and stuff, but only the height of the bolt at one end remains undone. If there are no GUI possibilities, could you give me the codes in Custom Script, or if even unrealisable in that way, through JASS?

You could make the dummies use a non-existing model and make them invulnerable, then they can't be killed, are un-selectable and can target spells at each other.

But just learn JASS from the beginning, using GUI seems dumb.

Using the invisible model seems correct, but i really ought to use JASS because it seems to be the ONLY available solution. Well, guess i have to start learning it. Thanx 4 ur help everyone.

Okay, i know i said i had to learn JASS, but can't someone give me the codes to set lightning at a wanted height? To get to the part of changing lightning height seems very - alien - to me.
