fire trigger when on second floor

[mcnorth]

I'm trying to get a trigger to fire when the player locates friendly troops on the second floor of a bombed out building. To do this I've placed an ammo crate on the second floor and am comparing the crates z co-ordinate to the player's z co-ordinate.

Code: [Select]

(GetPos aP) select 2 >= (GetPos crate) select 2The problem is that the player's z co-ordinate remains the same whether he's on the ground or on the second floor. Stranger yet, even though I put the ammo crate on the second floor with;

Code: [Select]

this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, (getPos this select 2)+ 5]the crate's z co-ordinate is a miniscule negative number.

Attached is a mini mission where radio alpha displays the player's z co-ordinate and radio bravo displays the crate's. Apparently I'm barking up an empty tree and would really appreciate someone pointing me the right direction.

Thanks guys.

You might have to use modelToWorld in order to get the right coordinates.

Cheetah, You are a GOD and undoubtedly saved me boatloads of headache. I'd have never found that.

Thanks

problem solved

here's the code if anyone else is interested.

Code: [Select]

(aP modelToWorld (GetPos aP)) select 2 >= (crate modelToWorld (GetPos crate)) select 2(where the crate sits on the second floor for a reference point.)
