for some reason I can't set the height of a model in the events field of an actor using either the "unit birth" msg type or the "create" msg type. I can use unit birth to set the scale or tint just fine. I can also set the height using other msg types like "weapon start". is there another "easy" way to set the height of a model when the unit is created?

nothing?

Why don't you just change the height of the model itself? Or create a custom model if needed be with your exact height.

where is the field that changes model height? I looked for it more than once, and all you can do is change the model scale or the actor's scale for the model.

Offset SOp, the height field on the unit or you just need to use a timer event.

Offset SOp? Never heard of that. can you explain what that is?

I don't want to change the height field for the unit because I'm trying to change a model that I attached to the unit, not the actual unit model.

I was hoping to avoid using a timer event. it seems like there should be an easier way to do this.

The actor type called Site Operation (Offset). Put that in the Hosting - Site Operations - Operations field to change the x,y,z offset of the actor. Read the uberlisk tutorial on this site to see how it is done.

That solved it. Thank you.
