Description
- Description:
- Sets the flying altitude for aircraft relatively to the ground surface. Avoid too low altitudes, as helicopters and planes won't evade trees and obstacles on the ground. The default flying altitude is 100 meters. The minimum height is 20 meters.
- Groups:
- Object Manipulation
Syntax
- Syntax:
- aircraft flyInHeight altitude
- Parameters:
- aircraft: Object
- altitude: Number - flying altitude in meters
- Return Value:
- Nothing
Alternative Syntax
- Syntax:
- aircraft flyInHeight [altitude, forced]
- Parameters:
- aircraft: Object
- altitude: Number - flying altitude in meters
- forced: Boolean - true to force altitude in all cases, false to behave like main syntax
- Return Value:
- Nothing
Examples
- Example 1:
- _helicopter flyInHeight 40;
- Example 2:
- // for altitudes below 10m _helicopter flyInHeight 5; // helicopter will land _helicopter flyInHeight [5, true]; // helicopter will hover at 5m altitude // on a landed helicopter _helicopter flyInHeight 50; // helicopter will not move until a waypoint is added _helicopter flyInHeight [50, true]; // helicopter will start to rise immediately

Notes from before the conversion:
From
1.80 - flyInHeight now affects not only helicopters, but also planes.
- Posted on Dec 16, 2008 - 01:34 (UTC)
- A flyInHeight of 0 will keep the chopper pinned to the ground, even when the engines have been started.

-
If a helo has no waypoints, it will assume a low hover without regard to this setting.

-
As of 2.20:
- when altitude is greater or equal 10, collision avoidance will maintain priority and the rotary airframe stays around 20~35 meters ATL, depending on nearby objects.
- when altitude is lower then 10, for example, 9.99999, it seems that collision avoidance is disabled and the airframe will maintain the desired ATL.
