I need to climb a very high mountain and I have thought to use waypoins and a platform, but I can not get it.
The script I use works fine, I've tried it on other maps and it works fine, but in these cases the waypoint is at ground level.
So the question is as the title says.

The pic below show the platform (green color) and the waypoint, each point being market for a platform just to show best where they are.



Thanks in advance for all tips.

If you have the scifi pack, maybe try using the drone script. They seem to float in the air.
But I am thinking you may need invisible objects to connect these platforms.

Unfortunatelly is the only one I don't own.

So, the waypoint in this case don't work?
Perhaps engine does not found then when they are not at ground level.

Then I should explore another different way to achieve it, transport to, is the last option here.

I think the height is set in the fpe and not the actual script for the drones ...
Setting a platform to go uphill would require a custom script for sure ... It definitely wont just follow the waypoint uphill.

EDIT ...
defaultheight = 25
hoverfactor = 60

Looks like this defines the Drones height and hover ?

I am thinking that using one of AmenMoses scripts could solve this for you, even with an object with an invisible texture. Using these as your path, with blockers till the player achieves what ever goal there is to proceed forward, trigger by a zone script.

Just a guess at the moment. I have no proof yet, But his scripts are pretty good for doing bunches of stuff.

Solved.
What I did was take smallg script(floating platform.lua), did some changes here and there and it works.
You should declare var ai_patrol_y = {} in global.lua file (and yes you can lost it when updaye and/or check files via steam)
So now you can navigate uphills waypoints.





I'll post a video tomorrow in my wip thread (watercolor world)

Have you tried putting a floor zone on the raised areas and linking them with a waypoint?
