Quick Question

[PrisonLove]

When you use SetUnitZ(), does it set the unit's Z coordinate in relation to the current terrain height, or does it set it in relation to 0?

Edit: Okay apparently SetUnitZ() does not exist. Can anyone tell me what function I'm thinking of, and answer whether it's set in relation to the current terrain height or 0?

SetUnitFlyHeight. This is how far the unit is flying above terrain.

Only works if the unit has (or was given) crow form. So be careful with that.

Wouldn't it also work if the unit is just a flying unit in general?

 

[Tru_Power22]

Yeah. It would, It's more of a thing with ground units though.

SetUnitFlyHeight = relation to 0

(same as below, but the below would work with ground units)

function SetUnitZ takes unit u, real height returns nothing
    call UnitAddAbility(u, 'Arav')
    call UnitRemoveAbility(u, 'Arav')
    call SetUnitFlyHeight(u,height)
endfunction

below would be in relation to the terrain:

function SetUnitZ takes unit u, real height returns nothing
    local location tp = GetUnitLoc(u)
    local real z = GetLocationZ(tp)
    call RemoveLocation(tp)
    set tp = null
    call UnitAddAbility(u, 'Arav')
    call UnitRemoveAbility(u, 'Arav')
    call SetUnitFlyHeight(u,height-z)
endfunction

Assuming 'Arav' is crow form.
