Object Height

[Phantom]

I'm trying to pile up a bunch of ammo crates, how do i change the height of it so to stack them up?

[Knowlife]

Like this:

Put this the init field of the crate: [this,(getpos this),**PUT THE HEIGHT YOU WHANT HERE**] exec "height.sqs"
And the following in your mission folder:

height.sqs

Code: [Select]

_object = _this select 0
_objpos = _this select 1
_height = _this select 2
_object setpos [(_objpos select 0),(_objpos select 1),(_objpos  select 2) + _height]
exit

[Phantom]

is there one that doesn't require an sqs file?

[Knowlife]

Well, yes. Put this in the init field:

_object setpos [(this select 0),((getpos this) select 1),((getpos this)  select 2) + **PUT THE HEIGHT YOU WHANT HERE**]

But i'm not sure if it works...

[Chris Death]

Just replace _object with this or with the object's name

:edit - huh - just been reading that again:

Code: [Select]

this setpos [(gepos this select 0),(getpos this select 1),height_you_want]
That's the right code now

errr i think he will understand this better.

in init field;
this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, #]



#= height in meters, you can choose whatever you want.

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, 250] FTW!!!

But I cant seen to put objects ontop of roofs. I once did it with an M2 machine gun but it wouldnt stay where I moved it to.

I want to put some things on the roof of Arcadia on the map. THere is a hotel there. Good for chopper landings
