Problem with setpos

[Raptor 2101 0]

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_unit= _this select 0

_add=_this select 1

_time = _this select 2

_ziel = _this select 3

_speed = _this select 4

_Granaten="SmokeShell" camcreate getpos _unit

_time= 1 / _time

_xs = (velocity _unit) select 0

_ys = (velocity _unit) select 1

#drehung

_x=(getPos _unit) select 0 +_xs

_y=(getPos _unit) select 1 +_ys

_z=(getPos _unit) select 2

_unit setPos[_x,_y,_z]

_x1 = (getPos _unit) select 0

_y1 = (getPos _unit) select 1

_z1 = (getPos _unit) select 2

_Granaten setPos [_x1, _y1, _z1+30]

_unit setDir ((getDir _unit) + _add)

~(_time)

goto "drehung"

Exit

this code give this error massage "'_unit setPos[_x,_y,_z]'|x| Fehler Typer jeder, zahl erwartet" and i dont understand why. i give the operator setpos legal numbers to operate

have anyone a idia

If you translate that I might know whats going on.

I´ve seen something on ofpec a setpos script maybe you should download that script, and that script on ofpec is working because i use it myself with no problems at all.

Error : Error Typer all: Number expected

Try changing:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_x=(getPos _unit) select 0 +_xs

_y=(getPos _unit) select 1 +_ys

To:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_x=(getPos _unit select 0) +_xs

_y=(getPos _unit select 1) +_ys

You may be telling it to select an element that does not exist?

[Raptor 2101 0]

no because the other order "setDir" works fine

[Sgt_Wilson 0]

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_x=(getPos _unit) select 0 +_xs

The above code will give me an error everytime in OFP with a Division by zero, error message?

If _xs = 10 then the code would translate to:

_x=(getpos _unit) select (0 + 10)

As GetPos only returns 3 elements, it will fall over trying to find element 10.

Because the line where you initialise _x fails, your code goes on to call:

Quote[/b] ]

_unit setPos[_x,_y,_z]

So you get the "Type all: Number expected" error message because _x un-initialised is of type any. And SetPos expects  numbers.

If you added:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#drehung

_x=0

_y=0

_x=(getPos _unit) select 0 +_xs

_y=(getPos _unit) select 1 +_ys

And then run your code, you will get the "Division by zero" error message as mentioned above.

You have to be careful, OFP only displays the last error message.

thanks i will try

[Guest jacobaby]

[code_x=(getPos _unit select 0) +_xs

_y=(getPos _unit select 1) +_ys

_z=(getPos _unit select 2)

_unit setPos[_x,_y,_z]

Brackets in the wrong places

fixed above

thanks to all it works

now a other it is posibel to let a flying helicopter smoke?

i have found no way

an with camecreate "SmokeShell" that works with groudn units but, if you try it with a flying unit the granate fell down

Use the drop command to create your own kind of smoke that you can attach to any object.

Here you can find a good tutorial and examples to get into it:

Vektorbosons homepage

And at the Editing Centre, doolittles "Vehicle Respawn With Smoke"....use the smoke script
