Checking vehicle's altitude

[srk]

What is the command to check vehicle's altitude?

read the comref.

read the comref.

...where you will find that it is the getpos command and the usage in this case would be something like
altitude = getpos mychopper select 2

I thought it would be much easier. But anyway, thanks.

a unit's position is described using three numbers : west/east, north/south, and height. another way of writing this is [x,y,z], which is what a positional array looks like.

to get a unit's positional array you use the getpos command.

to get at the values in an array you use the select command. arrays begin at 0 for the first value, 1 for the next value, and so on.

getpos unit select 0 would give its west/east or x coordinate.
getpos unit select 1 would give its north/south or y coordinate.
getpos unit select 2 would give its height or z coordinate.

what is difficult about that?
