Placing Objects

[foxtrot1787 10]

Hi All

I need help.

Im trying to create a Mplayer misison to collect evidence. got all that working but im having problems putting a laptop on a desk inside a building.

Any suggestions?

typically a height of 4 or 5 should put whatever on the 2nd floor so I would try 1 for a table if it's on the first floor and 5 or 6 if the second floor. Is that what you're asking?

edit: seems to be some collision detection issues. No matter which height I place the laptop at and no matter which desk I use, the keyboard part of the open laptop sinks into the table. If you use the closed lappy it disappears entirely presumably inside the table.

height 1 is what it should be tho. Try it with an open laptop and you'll see. Might wanna play around with different objects. "Evidence" can come in many forms.

edit: just tried with almost every type of furniture that would make sense. The only one I was able to get the laptop (or any other objects for that matter) to sit on with no collision issues was the icebox.

I'm pretty sure there was a command added to disable physics for an object

^ you have game logic attached to it? Seems like the same issue I was getting with the blackfoot wreck helo. Very odd because it has a health to it (and a texture difference) but I could not damage it using explosives.

that works 100%. Thank you.

0.81 gets it(open laptop) on top of a wooden desk perfectly using the street as a foundation.

For the height of the table, you could use this to eliminate guesswork:
