Title: Raising a setpos'ed object
Post by: greg147 on 01 Jan 2006, 17:20:00

Hi all,

I've got a building that I have setpos'ed from one place to the other, however I can't seem to raise it up or down.

When I try putting 'building1 setpos [(GetPos this select 0), (GetPos this select 1), 5]' I get an error saying 'building1 setpos [(GetPos this select|#| 0), (GetPos this select 1), 5]': Error getpos: Type Bool, expected object

I don't know if this is the right command, or weither I'm just using it wrong for this

Can anyone help?  :P

Thanks

Your script line seems to work fine if I put it to the initialization field of the building and replace building1 with this.

But I suspect you are doing this in a script file. And I bet you are not using this correctly... where did you put that code, and what is this?

Currently, my script file goes:

Code: [Select]

building1 setpos getpos building2

deletevehicle building2

building1 setpos [(GetPos this select 0), (GetPos this select 1), 5]

exit
The first two lines work fine, but the building that is put in its place is under the ground, with only its roof showing.

When I tried putting the line in a trigger and activating it, the building was transported to an area on the other side of the map.

To raise the building up and down, you will need to do this:
building1 setpos [(GetPos building1 select 0), (GetPos building1 select 1), 5]

Hehehehe.........

Try this instead:

Code: [Select]

bpos = getPos building2

deletevehicle building2

building1 setpos bpos
