[Solved] Unit as a Tower, change height.

[Archian]

Hello Community!

So, I have this annoying problem.

You see, I'm using a unit model (Footman Archer) as a tower (to keep him in place and function as a Guard Tower).

As you can see, from the screenshot below, in the World Editor it looks just right. I have changed the Height in the Object Editor. But ingame the unit is on the ground. How do I make him stay in the air (so it looks like he is standing in the tower), what value do I need to edit?

Any help is much appreciated!

Change to Flying , movement 0 and set hight to a value you need

Units with 0 Movement can't change flying Height.

Just change the Movement Type to Fly. If you don't want that unit to fly, try Hover Movement type.

Okay, so using a unit and not a building, seem to work if you simply set the Movement speed to 0% and the height to (whatever I need) plus flying as movement type. However, the unit doesn't face the targets, which looks rather stupid. So, how do i deal with this new issue?

An alternate approach, use an invisible platform ?
