Flying-Height above water?

12-04-2011, 06:03 PM

Hi once again!
So I'm making something like a projectile system (well, not quite, but let's think of it like that)
I want my projectiles to fly on a vector in a given trajectory, but I also want them to ignore terrain height and cliff heights (a problem Moyack has helped me with back in this thread)

This works flawlessly, EXCEPT when I send my projectile to fly above water. When it's above water, it's height seems to drop for no apparent reason and I have no idea how to fix it...

I saw this solved in Elimination and Toy Soldiers... Does anybody know how did they do it?

Trigger:

Set TempPoint2 = next postion of my projectile bla bla

Custom script: set udg_HC_Z = GetLocationZ(udg_TempPoint2)

Unit - Add Crow Form to HC_TempUnit

Animation - Change HC_TempUnit flying height to (250 - HC_Z) at 0.00

Unit - Remove Crow Form from HC_TempUnit

Unit - Move HC_TempUnit instantly to TempPoint2

Anitarf	Your projectiles need the hover movement type. It's the only movement type where the vertical position of a unit always matches the GetLocationZ value of the terrain.

rednek	Works perfectly, thanks a lot!
