If you need to know the ground clearance try

function GroundHeight( OBJ)
Height = ( object position y (obj)) - (object size y (obj)/2)
EndFunction Height

...

You are seriously having a laugh right?

Perhaps i havn't phrased my question very well

I have an object on a matrix you want to keep it on the matrix

mx#={What do i right here}
mz#={What do i right here}
x#=object position x(1)
y#=get ground height (1,mx#,mz#)
z#=object position z(1)
position object x#,y#,z#

OK
this should be simple
who here knows what has to replace "{What do i right here}"

nope
tried it
it doesnt work



I have a matrix (1)
i have an object (1)

tiles have raised an lowered

do
set cursor 0,0
print "",x#
print "",y#
print "",z#
move object 1,-1.5
mx#=0-matrix position x(1)+object position x(1)
my#=0-matrix position z(1)+object position z(1)
position object 1, object position x(1), get ground height(1, mx#, my#), object position z(1)

loop

and that doesnt work
