| Envrioment: | Mission Scripting | ||
| Function: | getSurfaceType | Added with: 1.2.4 | |
| Member Of: | land | ||
| Syntax: | enum land.getSurfaceType(table vec2 ) | ||
| Description: | Returns an enumerator for the surface type at a given point.
Enumerator is as follows: land.SurfaceType LAND 1 SHALLOW_WATER 2 WATER 3 ROAD 4 RUNWAY 5
| ||
| Return Value: | enum | ||
| Return Example: | 1 | ||
| Examples: | The following takes a number of trigger zones named "surf" with a suffix of 1 to 7 and returns the type of terrain enumerator ID and string to the dcs.log. Note that the function accepts a vec2 point so it is needed to be converted from vec2 to vec3. Can also be accomplished with a mist function mist.utils.makeVec2
for i = 1, 7 do
local point = trigger.misc.getZone('surface'..i).point
point.y = point.z
local surfType = land.getSurfaceType(point)
for str, ind in pairs(land.SurfaceType) do
if ind == surfType then
env.info('point ' .. i .. ' is type ' .. surfType .. ' String: ' .. str)
end
end
end
