Doodad/destructible Height

How do you find the height of a doodad or destructible? I tried this but it didnt work.

Trigger:

Untitled Trigger 001

Events

Conditions

Actions

Destructible - Pick every destructible in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Custom script: set udg_r[1] = GetLocationZ(GetEnumDestructable())

JASS:

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Func001A takes nothing returns nothing
    set udg_r[1] = GetLocationZ(GetEnumDestructable())
endfunction

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call EnumDestructablesInRectAll( GetPlayableMapRect(), function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Func001A )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_001 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions )
endfunction

Does no one know how to get the height of a doodad or destructible?

wyrmlord	I think this is the function you're looking for. JASS: native GetDestructableOccluderHeight takes destructable d returns real

Doesn't that have something to do with seeing over trees?

Ok, I tested it and thats not what I'm looking for. It always returns the same height no matter what height the destructible is at.

Feroc1ty	thats becouse you never change the destructibles occluder height, to do that select destructible and press pg up, or pg down, anyways i dont know how to find the destructibles actualy height.

PipeDream	GetLocationZ() takes type location. You passed it a destructable. Store the destructable's location in a variable, get the Z, destroy the location and finally set the var to null if it's local.

Don't you mean Ctrl + Page Up/Down?

This don't seem to be working either. Did I do something wrong? It's only showing the height for how high the ground. For example if I place a destructible down on a level 1 terrain (128 points) then raise the destructible with Ctrl + Page Up it's still only showing where it should be and not where it is. If you get my meaning.

wyrmlord	From what I know, you can't get the location (including the Z value) of a destructable, only it's X/Y value. (GetDestructableLoc is a BJ function)

PipeDream	You might be able to create a unit on top of the destructable and get its height. Failing that, attach the height at creation.

The unit doesn't get made on top of the destructible.

How do I attach the height at creation? Do you mean find the height myself without triggers and put them into a variable or something? Basicly preset the heights in variables; which won't work for what I need.

By any chance do you know where the Z point of destructibles are stores in the map file?

PipeDream	Destructables are all created by the map script, you can find the height when you place them. The world editor should keep track of them in a .doo file. If the height is stored its in the CreateDestructableZ call.

I'm using MPQMaster to view the .doo file but it's compressed. Is there another program I can use?

You've lost me a bit. The .doo compressed so I can't read it and I can't find any CreateDestructableZ calls in any of the maps files.

wyrmlord	For creating a unit on top of a destructable, perhaps try making a flying unit without a model that has locust. Create it at the X/Y of the doodad and then check the unit's height, I don't see how that shouldn't work.

Didn't work. I changed the Gryphon Rider's abilities to ...
Abilities - Default Active Ability: Locust Swarm
Abilities - Normal: Locust
Model: None

And here's the trigger I used. Just assume that there are 3 barrels already placed on the map.

Trigger:

Untitled Trigger 001

Events

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -test as An exact match

Conditions

Actions

Destructible - Pick every destructible in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Unit - Create 1 Gryphon Rider for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Picked destructible)) facing Default building facing degrees

Set Point[1] = (Position of (Last created unit))

Custom script: set udg_r[1] = GetLocationZ(udg_Point[1])

Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(r[1]))

Ok. Since the flying unit thing didn't work it's time to get back to the .doo file. How do I uncompress it for reading?

wyrmlord	You'd have to probably create a program to read from it, unless someone else has already done so.

That's where we have a problem. My skills don't go that deep. Aka I can't make programs and I wouldn't know where to start.

It's looking like I may have to do this by eyesight
