Creating Ojects at a Hight

[ChrisDrew]

I've been making a mission on operation flashpoint and need to make ojects at a hight can someone tell me how to do this. I've tryed checking the editors depot and couldn't find out how to do this.

if it's something you can place in the editor and you just need to lift it off the ground you can use this line in it's init line:

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1,x]

where x= meters off the ground

if you need to camcreate an object at a certain height..  

then I think you can work that code into your camcreate line somehow.. cause I remember being able to camcreate shells at certain heights..
:cheers:

You can set the height by putting this in the init line of the object/unit/whatever,

this setpos [(getpos this select 0), (getpos this select 1), + 6]

The underlined bit can be changed to a  -  for having things submerged into the ground. You don't need the + with having thigs up  , but I put it there just to differentiate.

i've started playing this game afew weeks ago and don't know what camcreate means

[Kaliyuga]

camcreate is a command that you can use with a trigger or init.sqs file that will create an object out of nowhere without having to place that object in the editor

something like .. if you wanted to create a tank shell at a certain spot.. say for instance directly under a guys feet it would look like this:

 bomb1="HEAT120" camcreate getpos dood

where dood is the guys name that the bomb will be created at

this setpos [(getpos this select 0), (getpos this select 1), + 6]

uhm...i thought OFP uses [x,y,z] coordinates to place object so your example would move the object along it's east/west angle.
Shouldn't it be:

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, (getpos this select 2) +/-5]

so  this select 0 stands for north/south angle
this select 1 stands for the east/west angle
and this select 2 stands for the up/down angle

unsure about it but check it plz

Thats what was written.  Have you missed seeing the coma?

Select 0 = east / west
Select 1 = noth / south
Select 2 = up / down
