Object adapt to terrain

[Rydygier]

I didn't know that. If that is true, then indeed problem is solved far simplier.

I did some tests. First spawn the building:

bld="Land_A_BuildingWIP" createvehicle (getposasl tr1);bld setdir (getdir player); 

(some sleep)

then adapted to the surface with both methods:

1.

bld setVectorUP (surfaceNormal [(getPosATL bld) select 0,(getPosATL bld) select 1]); 

2.

bld setPos (getpos bld); 

As we can see both methods give acceptable effects, but slightly different on given slope. Another vector calculating method, or something else in my code makes a difference? As this is here for precision adjustment, this may be important difference.

That kind of makes sense, when using the vector your only tilting the building from it's current position which will be higher than normal due to the uneven ground.

If that makes sense.

Model makes difference too dont forget

AND

placement Assigns specific deformation according to the terrain shape map surface

slope
// the model is SKEWed according to the terrain shape, vertical lines remain vertical. Better than vertex property “Keep height “ in many cases


SlopeLandContact

placement=slopeZ

placement=slopeX

// variants where the transformation counts with landcontact defined points (1-3)

placement=vertical

// added for RADAR station (CHANGELOG 1.05 - 1.06)

All I want is that my object that i made this way is the same as the way it has been created in that editor mod, so far that has not worked yet.

Maybe a config issue if you made it, how does it line up on flat ground.

I found setpos does level some things but not all, using the setVectorUP (surfaceNormal code fixed that.

I made this thread to not having to redo all the 75 manual soldier coordinates, though I realized theres no use of continuing this thread, unless someone has the exact same way as the creator of Map Editor Upgrade mod of placing objects, i'll just redo the coordinates.
I found a nice building that is already in the game... grid 114078, same building as i used to have, theres also one in chernogorsk, but for a hostage rescue mission i'd like it more in an abandoned place.

thanks for your efforts, all of you.
