From DCS World Wiki - Hoggitworld.com
mist.terrainHeightDiff
| Added with: Mist 3.5 |
| Description |
| Returns the height difference between the maximum and minimum heights within a given area around the point. If searchSize is not present the default search area will be 5 meters. |
| Syntax |
| number mist.terrainHeightDiff(table vec2/vec3 , number searchArea ) |
| Valid Input Values: |
| vec2/vec3 = valid vec2/3 table
search area = positive number in meters |
| Return value: |
| number |
| Return example: |
| 2.43 |
| Usage Examples: |
do
for i = 1, 10 do
local newPoint = mist.getRandomPointInZone(point1, 1000)
if mist.isTerrainValid(newPoint, {'LAND'}) == true and mist.terrainHeightDiff(newPoint) < 3 then
-- newPoint is flat enough to spawn the object
break
end
end
end
|
| Notes: |
| Consider this function to be a 'terrain flatness check' to see if a given spot of land is flat enough to spawn an object appropriately. |
