Checking for terrain angle

[gc8 970]

Hi

I ran to bit of math problem when I wanted the check if terrain is flat enough for helicopter to land.

 

 

I am trying to get the terrain's angle (at players position) like this:

 

_angle = [0,0,1] vectorCos (surfaceNormal getpos player) 

 

But I'm unsure if that math is valid?

 

then I would like to convert the angle to degress. I tried this:

_degrees = _angle * (180 / pi)

 

Any help is appreciated 🙂

thx

_degree = aCos ([0,0,1] vectorCos (surfaceNormal getPos player));

There is also the (somewhat buggy) isFlatEmpty command, although I am yet to test it myself.

Yeah I have used it before and had some problems and I don't remember if checking even terrain worked.

I made my own little function for finding even terrain, no big deal
