Whenver I make a flying hero... it has the following problems:
1) No visible unit animation - only shadow
2) It is selected whenever a drag-click anywhere is done if the unit is in the screen

So will someone please tell me exactly how to successfully create a hero that has flying and uses the model of a flying unit?
Tell me exactly what needs to be changed and kept the same... because this is whacked...

Please help me out if you have ever successfully created a flying hero.

- created new custom hero "bronze dragon whelp" from mountain king.
- changed model to: units\creeps\BronzeDragonWelp\BronzeDragonWelp
(copied straight from the original bronze dragon whelp)
- changed unit height to 240
- changed movement type to fly
- made targeted as air
- placed new custom hero "bronze dragon whelp" onto map
- opened wc3 and ran map

AND WHADDYA KNOW IT DOESNT WORK

please only tell me how if you have actually done it before

figured it out

THE PROBLEM = EDITOR

>>> DO NOT USE ANY wee or blink UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO<<<

used blink, and it screwed it up... who knows why

go to the unit editor and change the hieght of the unit to about 100-300 also it is better if you change its movement type to floating instead of fly so it can only move the same places as ground units but looks like it is fly hope that helps.

on my computer I have two whole copies of warcraft III (why not?)
- one that uses blink and crap
- one that has no hacks, cracks, or mods of any kind

when I change the height without using any editor enhancements, it works perfectly fine, but when I use the editor with enhancements to change height... it screws up

so I just work around it.

...things start screwing up for no appearant reason when you add stuff that wasnt designed to be there.... I guess whatever... thanks anyways
