Fixed Flight Height (ignoring cliffs)

[akrep_ve_su]

The title says it all. Is it possible to render a flying unit unaffected by enviromental factors such as cliffs, ground level.. So it will move in air without going up and down when passing through different heighted spots.. Possible?

I have been wondering the same.

Because when I try to create a triggered bullet system bullets just go up and down while crossing cliffs...

You have to factor in the terrain z coordinate also.

This is a part of the code in one spell of mine, which makes projectiles to factor in terrain height changes, and the projectiles can collide with hills.

// Position of projectile
local location l1 = Location( r1 , r2 )
// Where the projectiles should be moved
local location l2 = Location( r4 , r5 )
// Z offset between locations
local real r7 = GetLocationZ(l2) - GetLocationZ(l1)
// Height change per loop
local real r8 = LoadReal( hash , id , StringHash("height") )
// Final Z offset in relation to terrain height
local real r9 = GetUnitFlyHeight(u) - r7 + r8

If r9 is > 0, then the missile will not collide with a hill and it can be moved to loc2. Otherwise it will collide, and I destroy it.

Is it possible to achieve this in GUI ? =)
