My question is the folowing - can I create a special effect on the terrain with 'z' offset?

On a side note:
You can create lightning effects with Z offset.

You can also use this if you don't feel like creating lots (?) of units:

Yeah, I was about to link that. Destructibles are better and easier because you can just directly set their Z height. Use it as a platform then add the effect, and finally remove the destructible so it was like it was never there. Viola!

10x a bunch! I never thought about that, AND FOR A GOOD REASON. Maybe I shouldnt ask this here, and if this post gets removed, please PM me. I am specificly not good at JASS. I get the general meaning of this trigger
But I dont get it all. Now lets say I want a FAR SEER Projectile effect to appear with 300 offset of a target unit of an ability on X, 300 on Y and 300 on Z. I need to change
-(line1) what does "OTip" thingy mean, do i have to chnge 'x', 'y' and 'z' to some numbers, or do I leave tehm there
-(line2) same question for 'x' and 'y', I suppose path means the path of the effect... MAYBE!
- HOW DO I attach it to a unit, I think that is another question... nevermind
JASS:
function AddSpecialEffectZ takes string path, real x, real y, real z returns effect
local destructable d = CreateDestructableZ( 'OTip', x, y, z, 0.00, 1, 0 )
set bj_lastCreatedEffect = AddSpecialEffect( path, x, y )
call RemoveDestructable( d )
set d = null
return bj_lastCreatedEffect
endfunctionBut I dont get it all. Now lets say I want a FAR SEER Projectile effect to appear with 300 offset of a target unit of an ability on X, 300 on Y and 300 on Z. I need to change

'OTip' is the raw code for the ability or unit or whatever that this variable is using. You can see the raw codes by opening Object Editor, finding the unit/destructible/ability/whatever that you want to use, and the press ctrl+d on your keyboard. Press ctrl+d again, to switch back.
x,y and z are, I believe, coordinates. Meaning where you want to create this destructible. If you want to set this to a certain unit, you need to know at what coordinates the unit currently is. -How you find that out, I don't know.

I Think 'OTip' is not anything you just said, its in the invisible platform line, so it has something to do with it.... ooooooor it, realy is what you said. 10X AGAIN, anyone with bright ideas how to attach it to units co-ordinates - here I am!

I'm on a page about incorrect corrections, and spent the better part of like two hours trying to get someone to understand that -5^2 = -25, not 25, and then that post had comments get reposted because that group is self sustaining, and that person was in turn trying to explain what I just explained to them. And I'm taking that as a victory -
