Hey everyone,

I have been trying different vector commands with no sucsess in getting what I want. I want a bag fence to be facings down (towards ground)

I have managed to get it in all sorts of angles but down facing. Any help with the vectors are highly appreciated.

Code: [Select]

_obj  = your_fence_object;
_angh = getDir _obj; // Desired horizontal direction (current direction of the fence)
_angv = -89; // Desired vertical inclination (inverted)

_angvu = _angv + 90;
_anghu = 0;

if (_angvu > 90) then
{
   _angvu = 90 - _angv;
   _anghu = _angh + 180;
}
else
{
   _anghu = _angh;
};

_obj setVectorDirAndUp [[sin(_angh)*cos(_angv),cos(_angh)*cos(_angv), sin(_angv)], [sin(_anghu)*cos(_angvu),cos(_anghu)*cos(_angvu),sin(_angvu)]];

Thanks Mandoble , I appreciate your quick response. I hate to sound like a NooB but how do you use this script?

Is it possible to use the setVectorDirAndUp command or we need script?

this setVectorDirAndUp [[-89, -89, 0],[0, 0, 0]]

Thanks for your help.

Cough Cough .. hmm .. anyone with clairifccation?

first you need to create the scriptfile  like  myscript.sqf   .. then you need to call the script with something like this..

this execvm "myscript.sqf";
