sets the effect's Z position (height)

Added in: 1.29
Before 1.29 there was no direct way to set a special effect's height. The following trick was used as a workaround:
Code (jass) Select
1
// Creates a temporary platform in the air, the special effect will be put on top of it:
2
tempDestr = call CreateDestructableZ('OTis', x, y, z, 0, 1, 0)
3
// Effect spawns on top of platform
4
call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffect(effectPath, x, y))
5
// Remove platform immediately, only the effect will remain visible for its life duration
6
call RemoveDestructable(tempDestr)
