risingSilence1 0 Posted February 22, 2017 hey everybody, I am currently using maca editor aka M3Editor 0.18 for building AI missions within the DMS mission script. the maca editors main task is of course to get the right positions for objects, ai spawns etc. But the handling of that version of the maca editor is pretty uncomfortable. So I googled a bit and found the Maca Editor aka M3Editor - 3DEN Edition. Basically the same editor but waaay easier to use. BUT - the easier-to-use-3DEN version of the M3Editor handles positioning a bit differently (sadly in a way that is incompatible with the DMS script's understanding of positions). the normal v0.18 editor defines height as altitude (x meters from map ground), which seems to be the way DMS handles it too. the 3DEN editor however defines the height of any given object as absolute height (so if the ground level of the map is 230m above absolute zero and the object is at ground level - its 230m). so the question is - how do I get the M3Editor 3Den Edition to spit out altitude instead of absolute height - or the other way round - how do I get the DMS mission script to also refer to absolute height values? thanks in advance for your help!! cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

risingSilence1 0 Posted February 22, 2017 killzone_kid what is wrong with you :D the forum requests you to spam three posts and now you come and waste half an hour of your time to "make me pay"? hilarious, thanks for making my day XD fixed the problem now by the way. the whole at see level at terrain level was new to me. I modded the editor for my needs and after some trying it actually worked. cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I realise this, but why this should involve posting nonsensical comments in other threads? I just wanted him to get on receiving end for fairness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
