Putting people in towers

[Jim666]

Ok, I want to put 2 towers in my little east base and i want snipers in them just to make it a little harder, but normaly you would just put the object there and then put the sniper on it in the editor butt thatosnt work so im guessing theres another way.

Put this in the init field of the sniper

this setpos [(getpos this select 0),(getpos this select 1),17]

then just tweak the height (last value, 17 in this example) to the specification you want

Ok ill go try it, thanks

[Jim666]

hey, that doesnt work, the sniper is in the air then he just goes down to the ground.

[SilentHunter]

Try this then

same agin put it in the init field and name the tower "tower1"

this setpos [(getpos tower1 select 0),(getpos tower1 select 1),17]

[Jim666]

yeah that worked, thanks again!

Another solution : in the editor, just put your unit "in" the tower, and in the unit's init field put : this setPos [getPos this select 0,getPos this select 1,2]. If you want to be more precise, you can put numbers like 0.85. You can also put negative values like -5 (very useful when you want a unit on a chair, if you've heigh problem due to the ground... ).
