Set height of a placed object(SOLVED)

[Crowey]

hi guys ive scoured the forums cant find what im looking for basically ive placed a "control hut" which has a desk in it I now want to place a computer on that desk but it keeps placing it on the floor please help me to set how high the comp will be placed...

[Spooner]

In the computer object's init line, to place it 1.2 metres up, use

Code: [Select]

this setPos [(getPos this) select 0, (getPos this) select 1, 1.2]

No idea what height you actually need though. Just trial and error ;P

Another way would be to place a table from the editor (need an editor update), name it "table1" and put

Code: [Select]

pc1 setpos [getpos table1 select 0, getpos table1 select 1, (getpos table1 select 2) + 1.4]That puts it slap, bang in the middle of the table no matter where you put the pc icon. You just have to get the table where you want it.

I know 1.4 is the right height for the table as I've done a similar thing myself

Otherwise as Spooner said it's trial and error to find the sweet spot. The editor icons have no real relation to where the actual item will be placed.

That's what pisses me off about this editor, no hight placement...

Thanx for the tip guys I was wanting to ask that question also, good thing we have RTE.

I know its kinda off-topic...

But it's also kinda related.

I've been trying to do the same thing.

But I can't find the blasted table!! 

Is it an editor update or what?

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=3068 RTE4 - Kind of a pain in the arse to use, but is what I use to place objects height.

If you don't want to have an editor addon requirement you do have a few improvised choices.
There is the crate in the warfare buildings or empty ammocrates, sandbags etc.
Or even using a combination of setPos and setVectorup, use the bottom of the field toilet for furniture.
