Sniper range

[Snowwhite 10]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to build a small sniper range for testing by using pop up targets at a given distance.

How can I check the distance to a target so I can place them for instance at 100m, 500m and 1000m?

Thx in advance

You could simply use setpos and adjust the coordinates accordingly.

Ah thx m8, I'll look it up later n post back with update.

Update: Could you tell me where exactly I find this? I'm new to Arma editing so. For instance, I want to place a popup target 300m from my position, can you guide me trough this?

Thx

Setpos is one way, but if you want it on a static range, then use the squares on the map. One small square is 100m I believe, the large squares you see when you zoom out are 1km.

if you mean your starting position then you can put the following in the init-line of the target:

this setPos [(getPos player select 0),(getpos player select 1) + 300,0]

And here's the link for "setPos" on the comref: http://www.arma2.com/comref/full.html#ObjectsetPosArray
