I understand your frustration, i even made a blooper reel about this problem, check it out:

But the answer is, put this line in the initialization line for a unit (and buildings can have way more just one position,)

this setpos (nearestBuilding this buildingPos 1)

strange.  did you put the enemy unit on top of the building on the map?  Also you pressed F1 to create an enemy soldier, then in the initialization line put

this setpos (nearestBuilding this buildingPos 1)

right?  worked for me.  try searching the forums i think i asked this question a while back and its in there.

what i use is this:

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

where XXX is the height. for example:

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, 4]

works everytime.

how and what are you placing?

put a soldier in the building, then in the soldiers INIT field put the command

Code: [Select]

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, 4]
*you have to use some trial and error for the height, its not always 4

you could also just put the soldier out in the open, put your player looking at the soldier then preview it... you should see the soldier fall to the ground.

also i forgot where i downloaded this from but heres some scripts that places the guy randomly in the building, and another to place a random patrol in the building...all you have to do is place a soldier near any building and it will automatically jump the guy in the building and he will start patrolling, or just be randomly placed.
