Putting an AI in Gaurd Tower??

[sharkyjoe]

Sit. Rep.- I have down loaded tower addon by zawdar.  In the empty objects its called, deerstand-sed. Now how to put an East guard in tower. I've tried, ( this setpos....), but he just dances around the thing and does not go in. Any thoughts??

u probablt put him too close to a wall. Try to find the exact spot.

I don't know this particular addon, but in general if you place a waypoint over a building you get a special option in the waypoint screen to choose the position in the building.    Might work.

Well I (We) solved it. I used a bit of SetPos given to me bySFG Here it is-  in init field of unit put      this setpos[getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, (getpos this select 2) +4.0];    
Now the +4.0 is any desired height you want. ;D

Also thanks to R. Armstorng for that liitle tid bit, it help.  I was putting the guy right on top of the icon of the tower, which didn't work. So I backed him out a little( in the editor it looked like a couple of feet).

Macguba thanks for that hint . It gave me an idea.
One again THANKS GUYS :thumbsup:

I would like to make an amendment to the, setpos. I found out that if you put after the semicolon, name of unit and getunitpos "up".  He will stand up in tower. So the end looks like this
.......select 2) +4.0]; gaurd1 getunitpos "up";
Where the gaurd1 is the name of the soldier in the name field or any name you wish to call it.
