| Set object position.
Pos array format is [[Position]]. See also [[getPos]]
Examples: [[player]] setPos [ [[getPos]] [[player]] [[select]] 0, ([[getPos]] [[player]] [[select]] 1) + 10]
[[player]] setPos [ [[getPos]] this [[select]] 0, [[getPos]] this [[select]] 1, ([[getPos]] this [[select]] 2) +10]
obj1 setpos [ [[getPos]] obj1 [[select]] 0, [[getPos]] obj1 [[select]] 1, -5] .........Buries obj1 5 metres below ground level.
Comment applicable to Ver 1.96 and earlier: Note that:
obj1 setPos [x,y,z]
Will place most objects z metres above ground level (negative numbers for underground). But if obj1 is a trigger then it will be placed z metres above sea level. This can be very useful if you want to check a unit's height above sea level but it can be a problem if you want to move a trigger to create an explosion or a sound. To move a trigger to a location at ground level: triggername setPos [x,y,0]
triggername setPos [x,y,[[abs]]([[getPos]] triggername select 2)]
Note for Armed Assault: Using setPos for a trigger will work in exactly the same way that setPos works for other objects - namely that setPos [x,y,z] will place the trigger z metres above ground level. See also: [[setPosASL]] |= Description

Description:
Set object position. Pos array format is Position. See also getPos Examples: player setPos [ getPos player select 0, (getPos player select 1) + 10] player setPos [ getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, (getPos this select 2) +10] obj1 setpos [ getPos obj1 select 0, getPos obj1 select 1, -5] .........Buries obj1 5 metres below ground level. Comment applicable to Ver 1.96 and earlier: Note that: obj1 setPos [x,y,z] Will place most objects z metres above ground level (negative numbers for underground). But if obj1 is a trigger then it will be placed z metres above sea level. This can be very useful if you want to check a unit's height above sea level but it can be a problem if you want to move a trigger to create an explosion or a sound. To move a trigger to a location at ground level: triggername setPos [x,y,0] triggername setPos [x,y,abs(getPos triggername select 2)] Note for Armed Assault: Using setPos for a trigger will work in exactly the same way that setPos works for other objects - namely that setPos [x,y,z] will place the trigger z metres above ground level.
