BIS_fnc_findSafePos Help

[RabbitxRabbit 1]

I'm having an issue with BIS_fnc_findSafePos.

findSafePos only returns two values, for the x and y axes, and I'm trying to use createSimpleObject with it which requires all 3 axes. The error code reads "2 elements provided, 3 expected."

Here's what I have down:

_pos = [obj1, 1, 100, 1, 1,0.25, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
createSimpleObject ["Land_HelipadEmpty_F", _pos, false];

Everything in it works fine except that _pos is only x and y. I've subbed in "_pos = [0,0,0]" and it works just fine.

 

I just need to learn how to add the z axis to _pos. Can someone please help me?

Thank you in advance.

You can either modify _pos to add the 0 value for the z axis at the end using pushBack :

_pos = [obj1, 1, 100, 1, 1,0.25, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
_pos pushBack 0;
createSimpleObject ["Land_HelipadEmpty_F", _pos, false];

or keep the _pos array unchanged and perform the modifications in a copy using + syntax (see example 3)

 

createSimpleObject ["Land_HelipadEmpty_F", _pos + [ 0 ], false];

Alternatively, you can use select to extract the components to create a new array :

 

createSimpleObject ["Land_HelipadEmpty_F", [ _pos select 0, _pos select 1, 0 ], false];

YES! Thank you! I knew it had to be something simple like that. I tried your first two methods and they both worked perfectly!

 

Thank you again, cidfr!
