Putting stuff on buildings

[krulin 10]

I'm making a mission with a player sniper on a tall building and i want him to have an ammo crate up there as well. Just putting them there in the 2d editor of course puts the crate at ground level next to the building. I'm trying to make a script for it to create one on top when the mission starts, but I gotta ask, is there a simpler way? I'm already a good ways into it, so the 3d editor option is out, unless someone knows something I don't. Any help with this would be much appreciated. :D Also if scripting is the only way, don't suppose someone could write me an example script for the create command. I can't seem to get it to work right :(

I ran into this problem too. Use this in the ammo crates init

this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1,<put the height in meters you want the crate to be at here>];

Yes at the main menu, press Alt + E.

Much more confusing than the normal editor but useful to solve things like this problem.

i love the 3d editor but the major problem with this program, the hard work that you put in you cannot preview or save due to the inability to put a manned unit into the editor so i went back to the normal editor and painstakingly built the china wall or it seemed it lol took me long time lmao

You can add players and preview it.

Add a CENTER, GROUP then a Unit :)

Three annoying problems with the edit:

Some items continue to swivel 360 ( like the ROUND sandbags ).

When you click "save", some items revert to their default level ( flat ) and not following the contour of the ground.

Also, I wish you could have an extra axis to turn items on

5urge you do know that you can copy and paste items in the editor?

Also some items are orientated the wrong way round to their icons which doesn't help.
