auto determine roof height

[[seven]]

Greetings all!

I thought I saw a topic on this but I can't seem to find it now, maybe someone can help me out...

How can a script automatically determine the height at which a buidlings' roof is at?

More specifically, I'll be using  the nearestbuidling command to find a building, then i need to find it's height, then once the height is determined that number will be used to place an object on top of it, sniper, chopper, etc.

You might want to use the buildingPos command and check the z-values to determine the highest position. More info (in the comments part) can be found at Biki buildingPos.

Probably doesn't help you, for a unit this is probably not a problem for small buildings. Just setPos him at 10m, z-axis, and he'll fall down on the roof. Of course this is only a temporary solution, I'm sure that there is a script able to detect the building height. I'll work on it as soon as I have time for it.
