Hello , I have a terrain that is not a terrain , it is a .x model with bumps , just like a heightmap . I wan to know how can I know the height of my model at a specified x and z coordinates ? I need something like GET TERRAIN HEIGHT(Terrain Number, X, Z) but for 3D models (.x) and not heightmaps .

I believe RPGamer described how to do this... since it's an object, it should work in theory... aint tried it out though, hope this helps:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=59975&b=7

function findObjectTop(objectNum)
xPos = Object Position X(objectNum)
yPos = Object Position Y(objectNum)
zPos = Object Position Z(objectNum)
CenterX = xPos - Object Size X(objectNum)/2
CenterZ = zPos - Object Size Z(objectNum)/2
TopY = yPos + Object Size Y(objectNum)
endfunction TopY : `you could use an array to get the center X/Z Positions as well

if object position y() won't do, then I don't know -- I've never used .x landscapes. Only matrices...

...maybe one day I'll finish a project

Intersect Object() is the command you want.

Also you might want to check out Nucleur Glory's collision DLL.


The word "Gullible" cannot be found in any English Dictionary.
