Units inside buildings.

[Abe]

On the missionmaker, is it possible to choose what floor the units are placed on?
In some buildings all the units are on the top floor but in others they stay o the bottom floor.  Is there a way to choose what floor they are on?

im not a specialist but use this in conditon field-  this setpos [(getpos this select 0),(this select 1),7]; that number called "seven (7)" there you can but whatever number you want and the number stands for the height... hope i helped you .. bye

I suggest you look at the command buildingPos here:
http://www.ofpec.com/editors/comref.php?letter=B#buildingPos

Most buildings have them set, they are specific locations inside each building.  For example I place a unit with the following instruction:

this setpos [7038.8,7147, ( ((nearestbuilding this) buildingPos 4) select 2) + 0.5]  

in her init field.  In the mission editor I put her on the building I want and the instruction puts here where I want her to be in the building.  What I am doing here is moving her to a specific x,y location on the map and setting her height compatible with that of one of the buildingPos locations in that building.


You need to investigate where the buildingPos locations are for example by putting:

this setpos  ((nearestbuilding this) buildingPos N)

where N is a number

In the init field of the player and seeing where you end up for different values of N

Great, thanx.
Does the set height work for all units or is it just soldiers?
I was trying to get an M2 Machinegun in 2nd floor window, but it would always stay onj the ground floor (although soldiers would be on top floor).

It works for all objects, though some objects are subject to the laws of gravity and some are not.  You need to experiment.

For your M2 try buildingPos  They are mostly located behind windows
