Unit Stay Higher

[Null]

Hi I have a model of a deck I found in the model section, but it is almost entirely submerged in the ground. If I go to movement and increase those stats the deck is still into the ground. What should i do?

 

[Nichilus]

Is the deck a unit or destructible or something?
For units, the height takes effect only for movement type Hover and Fly

 

[Null]

in the editor it appears as floating in the game it s not. it is a building does that affect smth?

 

[Nichilus]

it does affect as building has no movement type.

If it HAS to be a building then you could always use a Special Effect to act as it's model via triggers. These can be modified in just about any way you can imagine in 1.31+.

So i create a special effect with the model of the building and make it fly?

Yes, the building could be made transparent or maybe just not have a model at all, whatever works best for your map.

Then you create a trigger like this which optionally uses a Unit Indexer:

• Build
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Farm
  • Actions
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 100.00% transparency
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Triggering unit)) using buildings\human\TownHall\TownHall.mdl
    • Special Effect - Set Scale of (Last created special effect) to 0.80
    • Special Effect - Set Height of (Last created special effect) to: 100.00
    • Special Effect - Set Yaw of (Last created special effect) to: (Radians(180.00))
    • Set VariableSet Sfx[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))] = (Last created special effect)

Then we can destroy it's fake model when it dies thanks to the unit indexer:

• Destroy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Farm
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Destroy Sfx[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))]

If your building is pre-placed then you can change the first trigger to use a timed event + a unit group to pick through all of your desired units.
