Interaction with objects..

[SpaceMace]

Just got into this editing thing and i have a few questions...

How do you make characters interact with objects i.e sit on a chair, talking on the phone etc.

And how do make objects interact with other objects like having a bottle on a table an so forth.

I have scanned trough most of the tutorials, but have yet to find any help dealing with these issues.
So I turn to you guys.

Thankful for any help.

Do you need to tweak the objects z-variable in the description.ext-file or something?

Please help.

Thanks.

This seems to be a job for the "setpos" command. Iam a right?
I try around some more, I guess.

(Later, after much frustration)
Well...
The setpos command didnt fix it.
I Cant find any refrence to this in the command refrence either.
It must be something really easy i have missed.
Still need help.
I know of the swicthmove command but the unit just sits in thin air beside the chair.
And my bottles keep being placed under the tables. Very annoying...

SpaceMace,

If you want to do something like put a phone on a table, just pop this line in the phone's init field:

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

replace height with the height you want the object to sit at. For stuff on tables usually 1 works. This will keep the object right where you put it in the editor, only it will move it up however many meters you want. Works for any object. Also, while units will fall if they are in the air with nothing under them; objects will hover in midair even if nothing is below it.

Hope this helps.
