Title: Placing units on top of buildings
Post by: Black Fox on 01 Jul 2003, 04:06:28

I have been struggling to do this for a while with no real luck...basically I want to place a M2 machine gun, an ammo crate and a few additional troops on top of the tallest building in Modrava. I know that it's got something to do with knowing the right height, but how do I work that out?

Place the units over the building, and in the ini put-

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, 23.5]

You only need to do that for the ammo crate and mg, the units will be up there by placing them over the building.

For some reason I can place the player that way but not the other troops. Maybe I need to take them out of formation...I'll try later and see how it goes. Thanks!

Don't even try to put any soldiers up there that are grouped. Make sure they're each a group unto themselves.
