Height Comparisons

[Diehard@Azeroth]

Alright guys, i have a technical question here, this has always baffled me...
Basically lets say a missile has a height, then i got the LocationZ of the missiles x and y coords + collision size (added to each x and y coord) to identify collision. Now here is hte part that doesnt work for me, basically, when i compare the missiles current height and the Locations height (yes i used GetLocationZ), it never works, the missile just flys over the location even though its height is larger? wtf?!? lool been such a long time and this constantly happens, help plx and of course il +rep ^^

Maybe because X & Y are defined through a GetUnit function, while Z is defined through GetLocation one? How did you make the comparison?

• Trigger
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Position of (Dummy))
  • Custom script: set x = GetLocationX(udg_Point1)
  • Custom script: set y = GetLocationY(udg_Point1)
  • Custom script: set z = GetLocationZ(udg_Point1)
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) Else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Flying Height of (Dummy)) Less than z
    • Then - Actions
      • <Actions here>
    • Else - Actions
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

GetLocationZ(Location(GetUnitX(u), GetUnitY(u))) >_<
u = unit for this.

btw does your trigger work fine, the z comparison i mean? cus i did it same way except of course its a bit diff cus i had to get unit x and y int and so forth (btw try using points only when needed, use getunitx/getunity)

Edit~~ maybe its because i set the points offset by a bit and got that location's Z, cus i do it like offset by collision size, but instead of using offset i do x + collision size, y + collision size

offtopic: i always see you helping out people, gj, everytime i come to help i see you solved the problem

GetLocationZ returns the height of the terrain at the point + the additional height of walkable doodads.

It does not include the unit's flying height.

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

yea i never said i wanted to include the units flying height, are you implying that i should compare the units flying height by the units flying height + the locations height?

btw guys +rep for both of you guys for trying, to help, the problem is problem with me >_<
