unit height??!!

Anyone know how to ajust a units height with a trigger. I am using killst4r's Havoc model (a kick a** helicopter) and I want to change it's height so it's looks like it's taking off. Anyone know how to do it???

-Update-
Sorry I didn't explain it very well. Wot I meant to say:
Is there a way of changing the height with a TRIGGER? So that it can go up and down during a game?

....
Go to the Object Editor.
Scroll down to the 'Movement -' category...
Select Movement type and set it to 'Hover' or 'Fly'.
Then, select Movement - Height, and increase it if you want it to fly higher.

Thanx, but is there a way of changing the height with a TRIGGER? So that it can go up and down during a game?

There are a few ways of doing this

1. Use the trigger that does it
2. Make a unit with a morphing ability. Make the normal form on the ground, alternate form in the air. Make it use this ability with a trigger

Dunno about triggers much though. Not my specialty

Thanx heaps Mecheon. I used Medivh's raven form ability and it's awsome

To do it with triggers, use the Animation - Change Unit Flying Height. If you want to make the unit take off to a height of 300, you could enter:

Change Unit's flying height to 300 at 150.

to make it increase 150 units per second, making it take off over 2 seconds. The advantage of this method as opposed to metamorph is that you can control the rate of change more easily.
