Title: Place object below surface
Post by: KingBuffalo on 26 May 2005, 14:14:11

Is it possible to place an object just below the surface but still have it usable?  For example, I am trying to place a med tent, just below the surface, so that a player can run to a spot and heal, without the med tent being seen.

you can do that with this little line of code

this setpos [(GetPos this select 0), (GetPos this select 1), -1]

The -1 part at the end can be changed to any height, you might have to experiment so the tent is not invisibel.

happy mission making

It will work for some objects but not others.  I wanted to put an empty boat underground (I just wanted the noise).  It can be done but a few seconds into the mission it just pops out again.
