Neither the setter's hand height, the ball position when the ball is set, nor the attacker's floor position matter one iota in this scenario. The only things that matter are:

• For regular back row setter, was the ball contacted entirely above the net AND does the set itself (NOT the subsequent attack) result in a completed attack? If either of these conditions are not met, then there is no fault.
• For a libero setting, are they located in the attack zone, was it using overhand finger action, was the subsequent attack contacted *entirely* above the net, AND was the attack completed? If ANY of these conditions are NOT met, the attack is legal.

Of course, the rules regarding a back row player completing an attack contacted entirely above net height while last located in the attack zone would supersede the above bullet points.

Hope this helps.
