On Roof

[GrimMonkey]

How would one make it so that soldiers started out on a roof or on top of an object or building?

[Siber Fox]

Well, Mr. Monkey, that can be solved with this:

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

x = the height of the object/building, you really need to use trial and error to get it right.

EX:
this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, 24.5]
is the height for the 2 tall towers in Petrovice on Nogovo

hope that helps.

If you have Resisatnce, I do believe it does it automatically!  

Tanks!  

[Captain Winters]

btw that code Fox gave you goes into the units init

Tanks!

Thank you, I'll put it to great use.

What I usually do to make a unit start on the roof of a building, like those blocks of flats in Petrovice, I just set the units 'special' option to "flying", and the unit automatically starts on the roof of the building.  ;D

[GrimMonkey]

Thanks, I just tried the script way, it works, but I'll have a go at 'flying' .

[GrimMonkey]

What do ya know, they both work ;D.

I used the 'flying' method once for putting snipers on the rooftops in Petrovice. Worked a treat too.  ;D

Ah, almost forgot. It doesn't like working with vehicals for some reason. I'm not quite sure why that is though. Tried putting a bike on top of the roof to drive it off, but alas it didn't work.

So we really do need both kinds to effectvely get objects and humanoids on top of rooftops. Thanks for all your assistance .
