Lightning with Z offset?

[Windu]

How can I elevate lightning (move it up the Z axis) in WE ?
I know I can use WEU to do this, but with WEU I can't use hashtables...

Is there a way to do it with WE ?

Custom script is needed for this, as used Lightningex functions lets you set its z value along with the X & Y.

In particular, the function is:

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

So you would use:

• Custom script: call MoveLightningEx(udg_TempLightning, true, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)

The 'true' there means the lightning will not be visible if you don't have sight of it. Change it to 'false' if you want it always visible.

You can find the z value at a location using

• Custom script: set udg_TempZ = GetLocationZ(udg_TempLoc)
