Summon unit above the ground

Eisenhagen	Good Morning. I am trying to create an ability that summons a Chaos Kodo Beast a few meters above the ground. The summoned Kodo Beast should instantly fall on the ground, stunning enemies in its vicinity and exploding after a couple of seconds. My question is: How do I make the Kodo Beast appear *above* the ground? I'd appreciate your help.

Grater	Make it flying, or you could make a flying unit with a "kodo beast" projectile, create the flying unit above the point and have it attack ground below, the kodo beast will fall to the ground and splat - altough their might be some problems with that method.

SpadeZ	The best way to do this would be to use Lord Vexorian's Caster System. It'll allow you to create moving projectiles and deal AOE dmg.

super_sheep	You could create something like a mortar team thats hard to see, have it have a kodo missle, turn up the missle arc, and create, attack, remove

Progniss

ya just use the Inferno spell as a base then change the meteor art to a kodo. if that doesnt work then. Make the kodo a summoned unit, make it a flying unit, and use triggers.

Code:

Event 
- Unit summons a unit

Condition
- Unit summoned = kodo
                (or)
- Ability cast = Kodo spell

Action
- Set unit height to  (what ever unit height is make it 50/25 less)
- wait .01 sec
(repeat that until the kodo would be on the ground)
- Order unit to cast ability (make the ability like kaboom so that it blows up and does AOE without the use of more triggers)
