For example my Plane crashed into my terrain. Now I want to make a dent at this place. I know how to make this but the plane can crash everywhere so I can't use the vec_for_mesh function to get the Vertex because it needs a Vertexnumber. Is it possible to get the nearest Vertex at the place where my Plane crashed?

Yes, it is possible.
You should know how mutch vertices your terrain have (for example 80 vertices on X, 60 vertices on Y-axis). With vec_dist from your Entity to the MIN_X and MAX_Y (in a Vector of course) of your Terrain you can see which Vertex is the nearest to your Entity (maybe you should adjust this because you've scaled your Terrain in WED).
I wrote a code and it works. Maybe I should post it here.

I hope I have helped you with my bad english!

P.S.: OK, I've made a code, but I can't use it with vec_for_mesh, because it doesn't work corectly in my Version. But JCL said that this is a Bug and will be corrected soon.

SKILL EXPLOSION_RANGE { VAL 100; }
SKILL CURRENT_VERTEX { VAL 0; }
SKILL VERTEX_POS { }

// In das event des Flugzeugs einfügen

...
WHILE (CURRENT_VERTEX < ENT_VERTICES(YOU)){
CURRENT_VERTEX += 1;
VEC_FOR_MESH(VERTEX_POS,YOU,CURRENT_VERTEX);
IF (VEC_DIST(MY.POS,VERTEX_POS) < EXPLOSION_RANGE){
VERTEX_POS.Z -= EXPLOSION_RANGE - VEC_DIST(MY.POS,VERTEX_POS);
VEC_TO_MESH(VERTEX_POS,YOU,CURRENT_VERTEX);}}
...

So das hab ich jetzt mal so aus dem Ärmel geschüttelt also ohne Gewähr dürfte aber eigentlich klappen (wenn die beiden Funktionen funzen würden)

Hello,

thanx for your answer. But I don't need a code your description was very helpful.

Have I missed something? When was vec_for_mesh introduced? I thought it was still in the upcoming features - are you guys beta testers, or have I missed an update? This sounds like just the instruction I need...

so einen ähnlcihen code habe ich uch drin master , nur funktioniert der nit und deiner der macht bei mir nix, der macht keine einwölbung(krater)... der amcht einfach garnix...

was könnte ich falsch gemacht haben?
(code steht an der stelle der event aktion)

Vec_to(_for)_mesh funktioniert nicht aber der Code schon also müssen wir nur warten bis das feature eingebaut wird bis wir den Code verwenden können

naaaaaaaaaaaa prima und ich dachte, das das alles an mir liegt *rofl*... tztztzzzz

is it a Bug or is it a feature
it is not a bug it is only a missing feature

Hmm.. confused... Everything seems to have gone German, and seeing as that was my worst GCSE (and many years ago), could someone please answer in English: have I missed an update? How come you guys have vec_to_mesh, I thought that was in the new version not yet released?
Thanks!
Keith

Hi Keith, Vec_to(for)_mesh is currently only included in the Beta, but don't worry it doesn't work anyway
