Find flat and safe Position?

[ViseVersa 0]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to find a safe and flat position anywhere on the map, so I'm using BIS_fnc_findSafePos.

_safepos	= [getMarkerPos "center",0,8500,(_this select 0),0,0,0];
_position 	= _safepos call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

But sometimes it spawns on hills to. How can I prevent that? Apparently you can set the terrain altitude, but that doesn't seems to work, as I tried it with

_safepos	= [getMarkerPos "center",0,8500,(_this select 0),0,999,0];

Nothing seems to work, it will spawn on hills and then everything looks crap. Anybody got an Idea?

I've found findsafepos is unreliable when using large radii.

That`s because of the scope. If you wait untill the Script finished it's 1000 Attempts it`s fine. The thing is just it won't find a flat position, it'll just find any position that is free :/

Hello ViseVersa,

 

have you tried isFlatEmpty ?

Usually if findsafepos fails, it returns islandCenter as defined in the islands config

Hello,

 

I haven't tried it directly, but I`m using BIS_fnc_findSafePos, which is using that function to. It's basically build - in.

It's not that BIS_fnc_findSafePos is failing, it's working "ok", it's more the fact, that it will not actually find a flat position, it will only find an empty Position. That's the main Problem I got at the Moment, as I'm using WAI (An AI spawning Framework) to spawn in smal side Missions, but they look extremely ugly due to that they spawn on hills a lot (Napf Map).
