I have an actor that I am creating on the source cast start of an ability. The actor is attaching itself to the caster when I want it to remain at the location it was created. How can I detach it / orphan it from the caster?
It would be a simple matter if it was created by an effect event but I'd rather not have to make cast time simulating behaviors every time I want to make an actor during the cast time.
Hey all,
I have an actor that I am creating on the source cast start of an ability. The actor is attaching itself to the caster when I want it to remain at the location it was created. How can I detach it / orphan it from the caster?

Thanks for your help!

Try using the site operator(s) under the Host Site Operations field;
SOpAttachOriginHoldPosition
or
SOpAttachOriginStationary
@ezbeats: Go
I'm pretty sure that those only work if the actor is created on an effect event, which isn't the case here.
However, somebody in the IRC helped me - by setting the Actor Subject to (System) Creator, it is its own host, and not attached anymore.
A SOp (Basic) would have also worked.
