Examples:

player setPos [ getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, (getPos this select 2) +10]
obj1 setpos [ getPos obj1 select 0, getPos obj1 select 1, -5] .........Buries obj1 5 metres below ground level.

Comments:

Note that:

obj1 setPos [x,y,z]

Will place most objects z metres above ground level (negative numbers for underground).

But if obj1 is a trigger then it will be placed z metres above sea level.

This can be very useful if you want to check a unit's height above sea level but it can be a problem if you want to move a trigger to create an explosion or a sound.

To move a trigger to a location at ground level:

triggername setPos [x,y,0]
triggername setPos [x,y,abs(getPos triggername select 2)]
