I'm making a targeted point effect that will cause a bomb to drop on the target point and explode above the ground. The effect causes explosions with numerous periods in an AoE and emulates a large explosion by making the period duration .001. I tried making the Z position of the effect higher up (using 5 for now) and while it achieves what I want the effect now explodes too high and doesn't cause full damage.
What I'm looking for is making the explosion effect [i]appear graphically[/i] as if it exploded high (with Z position 5) above the ground, but to have the engine think its exploding on the ground so everything in the AoE will receive full damage. Tried a bunch of site operations but doesn't seem to work.
Thanks, Drsuperevil. I did this originally and it appeared it didn't work how I wanted it to, but after trying it again I see there are some other problems that are causing this effect to act differently. I'll keep at it!. Thanks again.

Hey Guys,

Any ideas?
Thanks,
