Terrain Gradient FUnction

[Unnamed]

Hi,

I've written a function to return the gradient, of the terrain a given object is located on. I suspect it is not very reliable, or at best limited?

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

It relies on being able to place four objects at each compass point, then calcualting the angle between them using TakeOffTim's AslHeight function (embedded for convenience).

I did try dschulle's Pich\Bank functions, but could not get them to work.

Thanks

P.S It was either this or the beta forum, hope I picked the correct one?

well what would make sense is to submit the beta version in the beta forums and thenget people to reply in there, (and maybe) one in this asking all the questions, though the mods might lock one because its about the same thing, watch out for them they are evil
only j/king guys i know ur doin ur job and without you the forums wud be in a worse state than it is

Yes...but, it's not the kind of function I would feel comfortable releasing in any formal way. Plus double posts are just asking for trouble

I think I should have re-phrased the above to:

Is there a better way?

Cheers

You don't have to release anything in a formal way.   Beta testing forums at OFPEC are for knocking stuff around in an informal way.   Doesn't matter if it doesn't quite work, that's what the forums are for.     The important thing (apart from not double posting obviously) is to tell people what you've got and what it does and doesn't do.

j/k (sorry, really tried to resist... honestly  )

Hi, it would have been better you'd used a Trigger to get the height of the terrain instead of TakeOffTim's ASL-function. Just look into my Helicopter Dust script, for EmptyDetector and calcH

Mezzy - if it doesn't attract the women why do you show it to them?



Sorry, I couldn't resist either ;D

Thanks,

Not only does it give consistent results, I can get rid of all those clunky objects...perfect  ;D

Messiah, I think you are attracting the wrong sort of women in the first place
