GetHeightAboveTerrain()

static float SCR_TerrainHelper.GetHeightAboveTerrain ( vector  pos, BaseWorld  world = null, bool  noUnderwater = false, TraceParam  trace = null  )

static

Get height above terrain of given position.

Parameters

[out]	pos	World position
	world	World to be checked (default world is used when undefined)
	noUnderwater	When true, sea surface will be used instead of seabed \trace When defined, use this trace to check surface intersection (useful for setting custom trace flags or ignored entities)

Returns

Position above terrain

GetTerrainBasis()

static bool SCR_TerrainHelper.GetTerrainBasis ( vector  pos, out vector  result[4], BaseWorld  world = null, bool  noUnderwater = false, TraceParam  trace = null  )

static

Get terrain basis vectors on given position.

Parameters

	pos	World position
[out]	result	Matrix to be filled with basis vectors
	world	World to be checked (default world is used when undefined)
	noUnderwater	When true, sea surface will be used instead of seabed \trace When defined, use this trace to check surface intersection (useful for setting custom trace flags or ignored entities)

Returns

True if the basis was defined successfully

GetTerrainNormal()

static vector SCR_TerrainHelper.GetTerrainNormal ( inout vector  pos, BaseWorld  world = null, bool  noUnderwater = false, TraceParam  trace = null  )

static

Get terrain normal vector on given position.

Parameters

[in,out]	pos	World position, its vertical axis will be modified to be the surface height
	world	World to be checked (default world is used when undefined)
	noUnderwater	When true, sea surface will be used instead of seabed \trace When defined, use this trace to check surface intersection (useful for setting custom trace flags or ignored entities)

Returns

Normal vector

GetTerrainY()

static float SCR_TerrainHelper.GetTerrainY ( vector  pos, BaseWorld  world = null, bool  noUnderwater = false, TraceParam  trace = null  )

static

Get terrain height at given position.

Parameters

[out]	pos	World position
	world	World to be checked (default world is used when undefined)
	noUnderwater	When true, sea surface will be used instead of seabed \trace When defined, use this trace to check surface intersection (useful for setting custom trace flags or ignored entities)

Returns

Position above sea

OrientToTerrain()

static bool SCR_TerrainHelper.OrientToTerrain ( out vector  transform[4], BaseWorld  world = null, bool  noUnderwater = false, TraceParam  trace = null  )

static

Orient transformation to terrain normal.

Parameters

[out]	transform	Matrix to be modified
	world	World to be checked (default world is used when undefined)
	noUnderwater	When true, sea surface will be used instead of seabed \trace When defined, use this trace to check surface intersection (useful for setting custom trace flags or ignored entities)

Returns

True if the operation was performed successfully

SnapAndOrientToTerrain()

static bool SCR_TerrainHelper.SnapAndOrientToTerrain ( out vector  transform[4], BaseWorld  world = null, bool  noUnderwater = false, TraceParam  trace = null  )

static

Parameters

[out]	transform	Matrix to be modified
	world	World to be checked (default world is used when undefined)
