[Spell] Locust Swarm - spawn point missing

[AtivEnergy]

Hi there
I have a Druid of the Talon (Storm Crow Form) - Fly Unit
When i cast this spell, the spawn point of the insects is on the ground while Druid(Crow Form) is in the air..
How i can set the spawn point wherever i want like in the origin of the unit or maybe the chest?

Need a dummy unit to cast it for you

I don't know how to do that.. can you make a map with your example and put the map here, so i can see and copy the result?
It will be appreciated.
Thanks

Oof, beg your pardon, I misread your opening about having it NOT spawn on the ground as the reverse.
Unfortunately warcraft 3 abilities are hard coded and do not have small options like "Casting Height"; however, by using bribes oh-so-wonderful systems we can do with one trigger.

Try the test map, all you need to copy it over is the system and the one line denoting whether it's the default locust or a custom locust of your making.

Edit: Explanation! You cannot detect when locusts are being made due to their innate ability called Locust which makes them untargetable, the work around naturally becomes unit indexer which circumvents the warcraft 3 spaghetti entirely detecting when the unit spawns regardless.

It is way more complicated than i was thinking..
Thank you for help

They still show up in "Units of Player" group enums. Just not region enums.

Have you tried to add an attachment point to the hero casting locust swarm?

Another thing you can do is to modify yout custom locust unit and set a higher flying height, liek the same as the crow unit has
