[Trigger] Lightning...

[ShadowMan]

Don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but here I go.

How can I place a lightning in the z axel?

So far I can only place them in the x and y axels but not in the z axel. When I move the y axel up to simulate height it looks horrific...


Help appreciated >.<

What do you mean by "lightning" ?

Anyway, if its what I think it is, you must make a dummy unit that will look like your effect and make him fly, since, SADLY (!), warcraft doesn't support heights.

A lightning created through triggers
Lightning - Create a Drain Mana effect from source to target
Otherwise that was a good advise

The only way I've managed to solve this is making two dummy units with Fly Height where one has the ability Drain Life and the other one is the target of it. This will make the lightning appear in the z axel, even if you spin your camera around.

It seems as if though this is the only way.
