[JASS] GetLocationZ Problem

[Marcelo Hossomi]

Hello there again >.>

It seems that, when GetLocationZ is used on water, it returns the height of the water surface. That's kind of weird to me o.o'

Is there a way to get the exact Z coordinate of the bottom of the water?

Or if you have any suggestion of how to make a dummy unit travel above the water without changing its height... Now I'm trying to add the negative height (water is always Z < 0) to the current fly height of the dummy, which would compensate the height decrease, but with the GetLocationZ problem it's been difficult...

Use these two functions:

function IsShallowWater takes real x, real y returns boolean
    return not IsTerrainPathable(x, y, PATHING_TYPE_WALKABILITY) and not IsTerrainPathable(x, y, PATHING_TYPE_AMPHIBIOUSPATHING)
endfunction

function IsDeepWater takes real x, real y returns boolean
    return IsTerrainPathable(x, y, PATHING_TYPE_WALKABILITY) and not IsTerrainPathable(x, y, PATHING_TYPE_AMPHIBIOUSPATHING)
endfunction

If the function IsShallowWater returns true, you just add 128. to the height of the dummy. If IsDeepWater returns true, you just add 256. to the height of the dummy.
I think this will work.

I have tried this way, but it does not look nice, because the dummy slowly reduces its fly height to a value, starting before the floatable terrain.

So, the dummy will first go down, then go up and then get to the right height...

This has something to do with either a dummy unit's movement as walking or as floating. Try interchanging the two and getting the height. I know this fixed some problems that I had. If you want more info, ask Poot or something because he's the one who told me about this in the first place.

Or maybe I'm wrong.

Solved that in other way. Thanks to iNfraNe's water model
Thanks for helping.. ^^
