Open the archive browser (Window -> Console ; Type "browse").

Search for "stretchline", you will find some models that might be at your convenience.

As for the ability range (the famous circle), I used to play with a workaround actor with a model as well. A few exists that fits the expected visual.

And because of the actor events that work similarly to Range actor.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

If I remember correctly, since the model is a decal (a "painted" texture over another), the terrain cells must not be hidden.

Else, you may use 3D models and adjust position/rotation with Site Ops or even its scale in actor events.

Have a nice day.

The way I would do this is with a persistent effect and an issue order effect.

First create an issue order effect, then set the effect "Effect: Ability" field to Move, set "Effect: Player" to source, set "Effect: Unit" to source and finally set "Target: Target" to "(None)Target Point".

After that create a persistent effect, this effect will handle the location of the target point where move command is given. In the persisten effect set the "Period: Count" to 1. Then add three durations of 0.0 seconds in the "Effect Period: Duration" field. Then in the "Effect: Period Effects" add the issue order effect you created previously. After that go to the "Effects: Periodic Offsets" and add three offsets, this will be used to set the direction in which the move command is given. The offsets have three parameters (X, Y, Z), in one of the offsets put (X: 0.2, Y: -1.0, Z: 0.0), in another put (X: -0.2, Y: -1.0, Z: 0.0) and in the final one put (X: 0.0, Y: -1.0, Z: 0.0). After that go to the "Effect: Random Offset" and "Effect: Random Period" fields and set both to enabled. Finally go the "Target: Location Offset - Start" field and set it to "(None)Origin Point". Then add the persistent effect as periodic effect to the behaviour that makes the ship drift.

The persistent with these parameters will choose at random one of the three offsets once and execute the move command, taking the original position of the unit with the behaviour and issue that unit the move command to the target point with one of the offsets. The -1 in Y parameter of the offsets, sets the target point for issue order effect, to be to a distance of 1 ahead of the initial position of the unit with the behaviour, the -0.2 or 0.2 in the X parameter of the offsets, will move the point set the by the Y parameter value slightly to the left or the right of the unit with the behaviour and the offset with a parameter of X = 0 and Y = -1 will order the unit the unit to go forward by a distance of 1.

I hope you find this helpful, tweak the values of the offsets in the persistent to achieve the desired effect.

Hello,

in any unit actor, there is a field called "Status Bar Flags" and there you can click on "Charges". This enables the unit to display charges from an ability. (For example if you have 3 spider mines in your ability, then 3 blocks would show above the unit.) But the charges never appear in game at the status bar. Any idea how to activate it?
