How do you set height on detatch

[Gunnykat 10]

Using this script how would I raise and lower height on detatch

This is for my tow car on the LHD just to let you know.

I honestly haven't used the script and haven't looked at it to figure it out too in-depth just now but here's a quick thought:

Edit the last variable here (the 0) to the height you want, in this line on the dismount code:

_mountVcl setPos [(getPos _vcl select 0) - (15 * sin _vclDir), (getPos _vcl select 1) - (15 * cos _vclDir),0];

Why would you want to change the height, if I may ask?

Oh, since you're using it on a LHD, is the "0" there causing it to teleport to the surface of the water when you dismount it or what?

[Gunnykat 10]

Yea when I detatch she goes off for a swim. lol

[JDog 11]

Heh that must be it then. Try changing to zero to the height of the flight deck... think it's somewhere around 17.

[Gunnykat 10]

cry it still likes takeing a dip lol oh wait 17 lol i was puting 1.50 lol. let me try that

It worked ok how does the mesurments work on this code some are in meters in the into line I put 1,15.9 to put them top deck this gets so confusing.

Punctuation please lol, can't help if I don't understand. Not sure what you mean by "I put 1,15.9".

If you're asking about how the setPos command works:

From the comref:

Format:

--- [x,z] or [x,z,y]

Description:

--- Position, x coordinates are from East to West, z coordinates are from South to North, y is the height above ground and the default y is 0.

Basically I find the only one I ever toy with is the last one, to alter the height, as you need to now. Otherwise for the first two values you just use the position the object is already in or perhaps the position of another object.

Hehe. Sorry I get kind carried away typeing. In the init part of the unit. I put this code to put them on top deck. this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9] And from what I have read its in meters. When I used the other code we where messing with you said 17. So that kinda lost me. hehe. And thanks very much for helping me out with this.

Yea pretty sure it's meters. So you have it set to 15.9, which would be like 15 meters above the water since you're using ASL. The LHD surely is more than 15.9 feet high :)

[kylania 568]

7m seems to be the lower hold, 10m human on deck, but 15.9m or so for vehicles on deck, it's odd.

[Gunnykat 10]

LOL well there up there lol. I have no clue got the setup off one of Xeno's map. First bit of baby script I learnt. Found out how to use the Into line that way. His scripting is wack. But it works if you figar it out.
