SetVectorUp & Compositions

[SOLDIER X 10]

Hi all

Is it possible to use the SetVectorUp command on created compositions on uneven ground.

Im trying to create a series of small camps and bunkers using some of the in game compositons. But the terrain i want them on isnt exactly level.

eg.

if (isserver) then {nul = [getpos this, getdir this,"bunkerMedium03"] execvm "CA\modules\DynO\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"}; 

this setVectorUp [0, 0, 1] works a treat if i manually place objects in the editor. But im stuck on how to add it to compositions

Anyone tell me the correct syntax to use or if this is even possible.

Thanks X

:)

Take a look @ This Thread. I was wondering how I could reference an object from a spawned composition. It's quite easy, you should be able to get an idea anyhow of how you would go about it.

Thanks that handy for future reference.

Not sure how it helps with setting the vector for a spawned composition though. My scripting skills are pretty basic.

I tried with Mr Murrays editor placed composition addon and was unable to set the vector on these also

Is it possible to level a composition ? Anyone acheived this ?

Kind regards

This is also something that I would like to be able to do as it really puts limits on where you can spawn them :-)

well, you would have to reference all of the objects individually and then setvector each one. Unless I'm missing something about how setVector works. Anyhow, maybe someone knows a quicker way to do it

or maybe you could use nearestObjects in a trigger list somehow and then setVector foreach object in the list. So basically you'd have a trigger area over the composition

There are a few ways you can level a composition but I don't think it will help.

if (isserver) then {nul = [getpos this, getdir this,"bunkerMedium03"] execvm "CA\modules\DynO\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"};

objs = nearestobjects [getpos this,["building"],100] ;{_x setvectorup [0,0,1] } foreach objs

or

if (isserver) then {Objs = [getPos this, getdir this, "bunkerMedium03"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));{_x setvectorup [0,0,1] } foreach objs };

The second method seems to work a treat !

Many thanks F2k Sel
