[Trigger] Lowering unit height to less than 0

[Drain Pipe]

I've already tried to set it up, but for some reason I can't use the flying trick to lower unit height to lower than ground level. My reason for this is mainly for a graphical effect of being stuck underground and other things. If anyone knows how to get around my dilemma, i'd be thankful.

I don't think that you can do it except with the default fly height. (As far as I know, triggers can't change it)

if you set the default fly height to negative, the unit will dissapear(removed from game)

if you want an underground effect you can use the underground cave doodad

Nah, I've seen grunts waist deep in dirt before (not imported)

And what does the Underground Cave doodad have to do with anything?

oops i was wrong, you have to set Movement - Height Minimum and give them a fly/hover movement type

to do this hold shift and press enter on the value, then u can set it negative

hmmm, i suppose i would have to give every unit a minimum height to start at, and then set the unit's height to 0 at the starting when they enter the map.....dang, it seems like a lot of hassle for 1 spell.....

no, model object fields have Movement - Height and you can make that negative but only flying units can have a changed movement height

Edit: so you could do SOMTHING like the jump trigger, with crow form and all that confusing mumbo jumbo to change a ground units flying height

 

[Bobo_The_Kodo]

if you want all units to be able to go underground just go to Advanced -> Gameplay Constants -> Movement - Minimum Height and set it to negative whatever

 

[Drain Pipe]

will that make their default minimum height all set to that minimum?

 

[Bobo_The_Kodo]

it will still say 0 in editor, but 0 means use the default from gameplay constants so yes
