Try creating a 0 sec timer on actor creation, and set the height when the timer expires. A few values seem to be overwritten just *after* unit birth/actor creation, which is rather annoying.
Riley's on the right track. Use the SOpHigherBy5 in the Hosting - Host Site Operations - Operations to modify the height of an actor. If you want a different height than 5 units on the Z axis, just copy the SOpHigherBy5 utility in the actor tab and then modify the <xx,xx,xx> to your liking.
Edit: my original post was terrible, i'll elaborate better...and by the way, SOp is short for Site Operations
1. Copy the SOpHigherBy5 utility in the Actor tab of the Data Editor, name it anything you like (I'll name it SOpHeightA)
2. Change the <xx,xx,xx> specifications for SOpHeightA
3. Type "SOpHeightA" into the "Hosting - Host Site Operations - Operations" field to apply the SOp
Damn, that works really well. I can totally use this to attach shit everywhere, because you can change X Y and Z. Thanks!
I wonder why it doesn't work under Events+
Maybe because was Nevir said?
Has anyone gotten this function to work?
For example, in Events+ you can change a unit's coloring with:
Unit.birth
Set tint color
But
Unit.birth
Set height (or any similar functions that control positioning of actors)
Don't work.
Am I doing something obvious wrong? Or does it just not work.

Instead of using actor events to set the height, use a Site Operation actor. Look up "SOpHigherBy5" for an example.

Alright I'll take a look, thanks.

yeah i find events pretty confusing and things you think should work usually don't (wtb better tooltips from blizzard)...
but yeah, i've really become a fan of SOp with doodads and units...very powerful tool
Thank u so much rileyStarcraft. Little do u know how much pain u have saved me.
