Fighting Gravity

[K. Santos]

Ok, so, I keep seeing these lovely pictures on armaholic showing furnished rooms and organized table tops... But whenever I try to place things on tables they just fall right through or dip down under the surface. I tried using the 2D editor by tweeking the object elevation as well as trying to place them in zeus. Same result each time... Is there a code or script or anything I can enter when I place an object to deacivate gravity on it?

Should do the trick

I'm still learning the ways of the force, does this get put in the "init" line of the object in editor?

You have much to learn my young padawan.

Important to note that the link the SSG supplied is for multiplayer, if you're doing this for a SP scenario you'll need to use this instead.

If you wanted to disable simulation on a laptop to sit ontop of a table for example, and you named it (Something like laptop_1), it'll look like this in the unit's init line;

Code: [Select]

laptop_1 enableSimulationGlobal false;
Edit: If I remember correctly, 'this' doesn't work in MP scenarios, so don't use that.

Ok, well, here's another gravity defying question... I'm trying to place objects on top of tables. The tables are in buildings that are on "terraces" on hillsides. So the world below it's X axis is slanted... Which makes the objects slanted... How can I zero that out so the object is just level?

Attachto is still a good option.

Alternatively you can try this to set it's vector up

Attachto might work best though.
