Need help to elevate objects in editor
« on: 19 Jun 2003, 04:27:07 »
Hi guys. One question:

I been trying to make objects elevate in editor. An example: I was going to put a 1952's radio addon ontop of a table addon. but when i placed the radio ontop of the table icon in the editor the radio would be placed on the ground under the table. looked kinda silly so i had to leave it alone. is there anyone out there who might have the answer for me?

thank you

In the radio's init field:

this setPos [(getPos this select 0),(getPos this select 1),(getPos this select 2) + 2]

And change the 2 until it's at the right height.

What's happening here is that the getPos function is looking at the position of the radio (this) and splitting it into x,y,z coordinates in an array of output.  So getPos radio select 2 returns the z value (height above ground, not sea level).
