Placing a unit in a tower

First, download Arkaddy's script called Localizator.sqs found here:
http://www.ofpeditingcenter.com/cgi-bin/YaBB/Attachments/localiz ator.sqs

Place it in the mission folder of the mission you're editing.

Now go into editor. Put a Player unit near the tower you want.

Place a trigger anywhere and set Activate to Radio Alpha, change Once to Repeatedly, and put: [Player] exec "localizator.sqs" in the On Activation line.

Hit preview and climb the tower. Position youself exactly where you want the unit to be, facing the way you want him and everything.

Radio in, (0-0-1), and write the x,y,z and azimut numbers down.

Next place a unit near the tower.

Using your numbers, in his Init field type: this setpos [x,y,z];this setunitpos "UP" , and in his azimut cicle there's a place to put the exact azimut number. The 'this setunitpos "UP"' command makes it so he doesn't lay down after being shot at.

Example: this setpos [7299.05,6797.75,0.00179672];this setunitpos "UP"

You're done. Thanks Arkaddy!

Sorry, I looked, and I couldn't find that script anywhere on the server....

....BUT,I went ahead and fixed it for you. It doesn't really require a script.

Thanks for reporting that. That's one less FAQ entry we will have to fix in the near future.
