1. What does

2. How can I make a list (dialog's element) with more than one column? (there's a parameter for number of columns, but no info how to add info to several columns!)

Thank you for answering.

Feeling alone, no ?

I don't know the answer about your questions 1, 2 and 6. I don't understand your question 4. (anyway, check all the setpos commands in the wiki, they are numerous), and about question 5, you should be a little more precise : how do you order AI to move ? Is the destination very far from the actual pos ? Is the units fleeing etc.

what do I mean by

4. How to place vehicles not horizontally (with setPos), but aligning to terrain?

When I place the vehicle and move it with setPos, it moves it that way, that not all wheels are standing on the ground (some wheels are in air, it moves object horizontally, not touching the land). And I want to move vehicle so that ALL wheels touch the ground, aligning the ground, like in real life. How can this be made?

[rübe 118]

setPos'ing a vehicle with a 2d-position (or z=0) at any given place should put any vehicle on the terrain with landcontact for it's wheels (there is a special lod for this to make this happen). If you pass a z-value other than zero, the object will be hard placed instead, so you might wanna make sure that you submit a 2d-position (set or resize).

To find out the "normal" to a terrain, you can try to put a "probe"-object there that has the needed placement-config (slope, I'd guess) so it align's to the terrain once spawned (due to landcontact lod and placement config). Then you should be able to retrieve the normal with vectorDir/vectorUp.

ruebe,

thank you very much! :)

well, I have tried to use [x, y, 0] as a position, but it doesn't help, as well as [x, y]... why?

seems like setDir was making object horizontal :(

but I need to set an angle... how can I save aligning to ground and changing direction in XoY ?

[rübe 118]

have you tried calling setDir prior to setPos?

no... this might help?
