cleanrock 0 Posted August 4, 2004 While i was doing some heli-transport scripts i found a bug that makes it impossible to place a tank in air when the tank is not over sea, i.e. it works as it should when placing the tank above sea but not over ground.

cleanrock 0 Posted August 5, 2004 i can... Â u can what ? does a tank stay in air for u when it is setPosed above ground ? what version do u run ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redface 1 Posted August 5, 2004 "it's not a bug, it's a feature" for the tank to stay in the air (for whatever realism purposes you might need that ...), you need to loop the setpos command I don't think this belongs in the troubleshooting forum, this clearly belongs in mission editing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zyklone 1 Posted August 5, 2004 To make it even more strange. Everything works if you fire a LAW on the tank first. Setdamage doesn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zyklone 1 Posted August 5, 2004 A workaround has been found: Move the tank over the sea first. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _posM1 = getPos m1 m1 setPos [0, 0, 100] ~0.01 _posM1 set [2, 100] m1 setPos _posM1 m1 setVelocity [0, 10, 0] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleanrock 0 Posted August 6, 2004 the workaround (found by me and salisan together) work as long as the tank does not stop after moving it back to the original position over ground, i.e. if the tank comes to a halt on ground after it is repositioned then setPos and setVelocity stops to work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
