Notes

Comment applicable to Ver 1.96 and earlier: 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)] Note for Armed Assault: Using setPos for a trigger will work in exactly the same way that setPos works for other objects - namely that setPos [x,y,z] will place the trigger z metres above ground level.
