Title: How to raise an object in to the air?
Post by: edgren on 27 May 2008, 19:39:28

Hi everybody!

I just wonder how I can raise an object in to the air?

Thanks in advance!

if the object is moveable, then using velocity command:
_object setVelocity [0,0,10];

if not, then using setPos command.

Thanks, but I can only find setPosASL (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=list&game=ArmA&letter=s#737) :S How does the desc. of setPost look like?

setPos is the same but there is a difference between them, third element in the array of ASL is above sea level height, while setPos uses above ground level heights.

setPos command (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=s#313)

EDIT:
Your are linking to ArmA commands filter of the comref, which displays only new ArmA commands, setPos was present in OFP too.

Dont name your ammo box player, player is a reserved name for the player, dont use it for anything else.
Put this into your ammo box init field:

Code: [Select]

this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 2]

And put it in the Initialization field, not the description field!
