Minimum Altitude

[Buzz]

Me and a m8 of mine are workin on a dogfight map and were making a hard deck on this map. I'm still new at this scripting stuff, so how would you make it detect if the player has flown his aircraft below 500m?

500 meters is pretty damn high for OFP, but you can do this:

_height = getpos planename select 2

That will return the altitude of your plane above ground.  If you want the altitude above sea level, then look in the editors depot under functions.  There is a nice function call getASLheight by Snypir.

500 meters is pretty d**n high for OFP, but you can do this:

Interested... if I wanted to have an event set to take place above or below a certain altitude (ie if the flying unit is within range I execute a flak script) how would this be worded in the trigger?


in shortened terms:
if height of plane1 is less than 200 then exec "flak.sqs"

(yes I know this isn't scripting syntax - I'm juts trying to explain in simple terms what I am trying to achieve )

thanks in advance ;D
