Basic data editor/weapons question

[The Undaddy]

Firstly, what purpose does the actor for a weapon serve? For all I figured out its sound effects/models on launch/impact, but is there anything more to it?

Secondly, how do I change the Z launch offset for a missile? I tried to create a hydra attacking with a rocket missile (for the sake of experiment) but I can't seem to find how to change that the rocket launches from its back like the needles. There's a x/y launch offset setting in the missile launch effect but it's not what I want

Also does anyone know any good tutorial for movers, that explain what all the settings do? Cause I find them (the movers) god awful, I think making the galaxy editor a fucking science lab wasn't a smart choice.:thdown:
