Making vehicle appear at Player Position + 100 altitude

[colonelmolerat 1]

I'm trying to set a trigger that, when activated, will call a car 200m above the player, to fall on them.

I can get a car to appear at the player's position, but not above them. I'm trying this script:

playerPos = getPos player; Car1 = "B_MRAP_01_F" createVehicle [(playerPos select 0),(playerPos select 1),(playerPos select 2 + 200)];

I've tried a few different variations, but had no luck. Even when I change (playerPos select 2 + 200) to simply (200), the car doesn't appear 200m up. Can anybody help?

Thanks.

Tried first creating it somewhere and then setposing it?

Use a separate "setPosATL" command on the newly created vehicle.

That is also more accurate as the createVehicle command will always look for a clearing to spawn the vehicle in, in order to avoid overlapping opjects.

Pos = getPosATL player;
Car1 = "B_MRAP_01_F" createVehicle Pos;
Car1 setPosATL [Pos select 0, Pos select 1, (Pos select 2) + 200];

Wow! Thanks for the fast replies, it works perfectly!

I use this script DropTank.sqf to create a tank ("B_MBT_01_cannon_F") in the air, and have it descend on parachute. I have it added to a Radio command but you can have it as a trigger.

// Drop Tank
// Add radio Command Resupply Tank
// Trigger set to 
// null = [this] execVM "DropTank.sqf";

private ["_para", "_veh","_unit"];
hint "Tank Deployed";

_unit = _this select 0;

_para = createVehicle ["B_Parachute_02_F", [0,0,100], [], 0, ""]; 
_para setPosATL (_unit modelToWorld[0,0,200]); 
_veh = createVehicle ["B_MBT_01_cannon_F", [0,0,80], [], 0, ""]; 
_veh attachTo [_para,[0,0,0]];
_veh allowdamage false;  

// Land safely 
WaitUntil {((((position _veh) select 2) < 0.6) || (isNil "_para"))}; 
detach _veh; 
_veh SetVelocity [0,0,-5];            
sleep 0.3; 
_veh setPos [(position _veh) select 0, (position _veh) select 1, 0.6];  
deletevehicle _para;
_veh allowdamage true; 

The vehicle can hit the ground and remains undamaged.

Thank you!

I'm not ready for working out a script like that on my own...
