Tilt object on its side(setVector command doesn't want to play)

[miasdad 94]

Hi,

I'm making an apocalyptic-style mission and want to insert an LHD/Carrier but spawned lying on its port/starboard side.Trying the setvector command but it spawns upright still.

Make sure you are using setVectorUp. That's about as far as I can help you with that command, as I don't understand it either. However there is a much better BIS function for this, BIS_fnc_setPitchBank. It does all of the trigonometry work for you. You will want to set the "bank" parameter to have the object lying on it's side

Thanks pal.Trying the pitch command.

Thanks for reply but didn't work.Still upright using this [ship, 45, -45] call BIS_fnc_setPitchBank

[dreadedentity 278]

should work fine, post the whole script

[ship, 45, -45] call BIS_fnc_setPitchBank is what I put in the boats init.Is it wrong?I'm somewhat new to to manipulating objects via scripting somewhat.Used to editors that allow you to manipulate every object with just a mouse(BF2 for example).

I don't know why this isn't working, it should. Did you name it ship in the editor?

Yep.Here I was thinking placing the oil rig was going to be a headache but it fit perfect.Thinking about scrapping the LHD for the battleship Iowa since it ALWAYS spawns on its starboard side without fail!
