i need help with a script mission

[aerandir]

Hi all!

I try to do a missions for EM4 but have some difficults with scripting. Can anyone help me with this?

This is my script fail :

##############

float dx, dy, dz;
float px, py, pz;
debris01.GetPosition(dx, dy, dz);
injuredUnderDebris.GetPosition(px, py, pz);
if ( Math::dist(dx,dy,dz, px, py, pz) < MIN_DEBRIS_DIST )
{
return false;
 }
return true;

#############

(Error: Can't call GameObject::GetPosition(dx,dy,dz) in current scope)

How can edit this for work? thanks for you comments.

There is a much more efficient method that doesn't involve Vectors or float values if you are merely looking to get the distance between 2 objects (irrespective of angle or direction):

if (debris01.GetBoundingRadiusDistXYToObject(&injuredUnderDebris) > MIN_DEBRIS_DIST)
	return false;
return true;

Thanks for the reply but Failed "&injuredUnderDebris"

I'm trying to adapt mission scripts from EM3 to EM4 but they all give an error when searching for positions (X Y Z).
How I could make them work in EM4? I'm too bad with the scripts...

My bad, the parenthesis portion of GetBoundingBoxXYZ only accepts "Actor" variables, not person ones. I will need to see the full code and I'll probably rewrite the whole thing for you if you can send me a "test version" of the mod through private message.

If you are interested in adopting Em3 to Em4 as a mod, please let me know. I am willing to provide assistance wherever I can because I have been waiting years for somebody to try.

I thought it over for an entire day. Here's another way to find distance.

Vector injuredPos = injuredUnderDebris.GetPosition();
Vector debrisPos = debris01.GetPosition();
float distance = Math::dist(injuredPos.x, injuredPos.y, debrisPos.x, debrisPos.y);

if (distance > MIN_DEBRIS_DIST)
	return false;
return true;
