I haven't seen anything in the Wiki to say otherwise? It's still listed under Arma scripting.

please forgive me but the wiki is something i have avoided over last few weeks, i had some terrible experience with that code posted there and almost lost a 200 gig hard drive becuase of 5 ctd and some blue screens i believe when it first became available some fanboys did a copy and paste job and was not aware of the consequences. but i see some very good website chaps there now so hopefully it will soon be hive of good qality info
.
i was told on icq that camcreate is now replaced by createvehicle local and simple createvehicle( apparently now more satvle for mp).

i just tried to camcreate and its true it dosent work anymore ,hmmm more and more porting lol.

I can also confirm that issue,
i ran into it while trying to find the absolute height of a camera
because there is no camsetposASL command.
But always when the camera is above an object the camera would bounce up by the height of that object.
I will try it with modelToWorld, seems promising.
Good workaround idea there deanosbeano!

Edit: modelToWorld isn't needed for the specific problem that i had,
i just forgot to actually setpos the object that measures the absolute ground height after createvehicle-ing
it,setpos compensated for the height differences that i had before.
Still the modelToWorld-workaround will find its applications.

crap. am i on drugs? what am i saying? i mean: i found a workarround. the distance operator works on this.


_obj_nullPoint = "Misc01" createVehicle[ 0,0,0 ];
_obj_nullPoint setPos[ ( getPos _this )select 0,getPos _this select 1,0 ];
_float_posZ = _this distance _obj_nullPoint;
deleteVehicle _obj_nullPoint;

works
