Is there a way to have a task be above ground level?

[panicsferd 25]

I am wondering if there is a way to have it where the task it set above ground and with a trigger it will not activate until the player is at the area above ground. I am thinking of working on a sniping mission and I want the player (as the sniper) to be tasked with climbing on the roof of a building for a good sniping position, but I do not want the task to be completed (or the trigger to be activated to complete the task) until the player is actually on the roof of the building.

Trigger

condition:

((getPosATL player) select 2) >=5

//5 would be the hight of the building

Don't use getpos, it will return your altitude above the floor/roof, which is always zero. Unless you're levitating. :)

Use getPosATL instead.

Thanks for the correction ;)

I will try that, I am in the process of adding my tasks now. I think I remember using something like that on a previous mission where I wanted a trigger to trigger when a plane would land - so I used something similar like if the planes altitude was lower then 5 it would trigger.

Thankfully now BI have included a command that is something along the lines of istouchingground _x which would have suited your purpose perfectly.

Thanks for the heads up. Thankfully I've not had any issues with it yet, even for landing on structures.
