Get the "real" height position

[Blanco 0]

I setpos a unit 7 m above sea level(in a tower)  with:

dude setpos [getpos dude select 0,getpos dude select 1,7]

No problems so far...

Then have a script, with in the beginning som vars with x-y-z coords of the pos of that unit

_xpos = getpos dude select 0

_ypos = getpos dude select 1

_zpos = getpos dude select 2

...later in the script I setpos him again to that startpos ( remember... 7m above sea level)

dude setpos [_xpos,_ypos,_zpos]

Result :  He's setposted on the ground instead of 7m high.

Also when I debug with a hint :

Hint format ["%1",getpos dude]

it returns something like : [21002.54,54333,4,0.0001455]

wtf, he's 7 meters above sea level and it returns 0.0001455 meters?

those would be his exact grid coordinates on the map.

Those?

it returns something like : [21002.54,54333,4,0.0001455]

height is 0.0001455,  i.e. 0. OFP occasionally is too accurate about the position of objects. that is 0.

The OFPR engine tends to return the height of building top as 0. it's game engine thing.
