setpos not placing aircraft at correct altitude?

[Bungdup 1]

Running into some trouble with the mission editor. I'm trying to create a heliborne and amphibious assault on an island, but the helicopters and fighters are all starting out underwater. I've done some searching, and it would seem that the way to get the aircraft to spawn at a particular height is to enter the following into (I'm assuming) the unit's 'initialization' field:

"this setposASL [getpos this select 0,getpos this select 150, height]" (sans quotations, of course), where '150' is the unit's desired height in metres.

This doesn't seem to work however. Every time I try to preview it, all the aircraft are starting at the bottom of the ocean. Am I missing something? Every thread I've looked through has quoted exactly what I've typed above, which is what I've been putting into the initialization field.

I just tried with OA 1.60 94209, and it works as it should.

Did you set those helis to be "FLYING"? if you do not set their "special" field to "Flying" they will start on the ground (which is on the bottom of the ocean if you place them over there).

Also setting the height would be

this setposASL [getpos this select 0,getpos this select 1, 150] ; 

or

height=150;
this setposASL [getpos this select 0,getpos this select 1, height];

It's x,y,z with z being the height, they will also need

this flyinheight 150;

or they will return to default height.

Thanks guys! That did the trick! It's exactly what was missing from the referances
