This is easy, man!
Just put this in the "init" field of your object:

Code: [Select]

this setPos [(getPos this select 0), (getPos this select 1), x]
and change the x with number... Try putting 0.5 and item should appear right above table; if you don't get right height of object at first try, you may need a few more attempts by little increasing that value in order to find correct height.

I agree with Guido, but I'll suggest you, don't write 'this' because you'd have to place it yourself, but if you change it for 'name of table' for example if your table is called 'tableone'. You will need the following command

Code: [Select]

this setpos [getpos tableone select 0 , getpos tableone select 1 , 1]
1, it's the correct heigh, for the table.

Got to be careful with naming objects in OFP. Only name objects that scripts will interact with so that you keep the number of global variables to a minimum. Otherwise you risk an encounter with the savegame bug. For something as simple as setting an object atop another, no names are needed, just the setpos command.
