Altitude AGL

[TitaniumTrout]

I'm trying to determine the altitude of a unit above ground level. The unit.altitude gives me the altitude from sea level. I'm at a loss on how to query the altitude at the units location and subtract it, or to define altitude.agl or some such.

I'm finding the unit info using ScenEdit_UnitX().

You could use World_GetElevation() to get the elevation (in meters) of the unit's position.

local unit = ScenEdit_UnitX()
local grdlevel = World_GetElevation({latitude=unit.latitude,longitude=unit.longitude})

Beautiful! Thank you!

It seems weapons detonate at flight level, or at least cruise missiles do.



I tried referencing unit.weapon.detonated but found it to be erratic. Most of the time it did not match the status of the detonated weapon.

If anyone has an idea on how to track if a weapon was intercepted or struck target please let me know.
