Two related requests.

1) Allow us to specify the unit's y-position in addition to x and z.

2) Allow us to somehow instruct Spring not to make a unit in midair fall toward the ground. This may be more of an engine request than a Lua call-in one. If there's already a way to do this that's not simply setting a unit's y-physics to 0 every frame, let me know.

Spring.MoveCtrl fulfills all your requests.

Atm there is no wiki for it, so you have to look it up in the source

Thanks for the quick answer! I'll be looking that up.

Example code:

Code: Select all

			Spring.MoveCtrl.Enable(unitID)
    		Spring.MoveCtrl.SetGravity(unitID, 0)
    		Spring.MoveCtrl.SetPosition(unitID,x,y,z)

There's tons of other MoveCtrl functions as well, tough their a bit hard to figure out sometimes.

Awesome! Thanks again for the assistance.

Do units still behave normally when under MoveCtrl (fire at enemies etc.)?

And what happens when you give a unit negative gravity?
