Spawning Player/AI in building

Hey guys, I am wondering how you get a unit to spawn on the second level of a building, not on the roof. I have been checking the forums for over an hour and can't seem to find the right thread for this subject.

You can use this in the unit's initialization field:

this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, x];

The x at the end is a number. 1 is 1 meter (above ground) I believe. You need to fiddle around with it a bit to get the right number. It can be negative I think but I don't know if that will do you any good.

Alternatively you can use this in the unit's initialization field:

this setPos ((nearestBuilding this) buildingPos 1)

That will put the unit in building position #2 of the nearest building to it. The reason it is number 2 is because it is zero based. IE building position #1 = 0, position #2 = 1, #3 = 2, etc. The building has to have building positions for this one to work. To check if it does you can try putting a waypoint on the house and a new box should appear with building positions in it.
