getting the height of a doodad

[Xardian]

Greetings!

Now I was looking through the interwebs to find a solution to this problem but I did not find anything...

Now, I am creating an rpg map and I got everything right with my camera (meaning no clipping problem in higher areas)
But I still have the problem, that the camera is due to the usage of

GetLocationZ()

bound to the terrain... I only use invisible platforms, so if I get the height of the next nearby invisible platform destructible I could easily fix this issue, so

My question, is there a way to get the height of a destructible with Jass?

I tried to use

GetDestrutableZ()

but my editor tells me it expects a name, now I have almost no knowledge on the topic of jass so I don't get what that means, but I guess it means that this function is not declared...

Can anyone help me?
pretty please?

GetDestructableOccluderHeight()

This is the fly-over height of the destructible, not the height of the destructible itself. I don't think you can get that.

 

[Xardian]

But the fly over height is constant, or is it?
That means I would have to create a special invisible platform for every height I place them... I don't think that this is a good solution,

BUT I thank you my dear friend!

But, isn't the height of the invisible platform the same as the ground height, i.e. GetLocationZ?

 

[Xardian]

no, actually... for example I use them to make a high bridge passable, (1000 above ground) so the ground is far deeper then the platform... but I will try what you told me earlier, It could solve the problem, it just makes a lot more of work...

Oh I see what you mean.

I made a system like this a while back (lost the map though), my method was to raise the camera's height to match the height of the player's hero, using GetLocationZ at both camera target and hero location.

Be aware that GetLocationZ does not necessarily return deterministic results. It is a common cause for out of sync errors during multiplayer sessions. You especially need to be careful with destructible that are walkable as it returns the walk height which if animated will be completely local.

If you use it very rarely, consider forcing a synchronization of the result just to be safe. This is not viable for things that run at a high frequency.
