It might need a bit of changes to you own likenings, just place this functions on the models you want to be set to floor.

HEHE! I use similiar method to put objects on ground with mouse help, but what know possible this could help too!

Mythran : Your code places the models far below the terrain surface. Perhaps it works for you because it's tracing to a block or hmp instead of a model.

MDI : I will PM you.

Alright JazzDude i just got your mail, i've checked it, and everything works with me.

I use this script to all static objects, that i want my player to collide and do not pass through. Also is where i attached the function set to floor as you can see.

action PlayerCollide()
{
enable_polycollision = 2; // Enable poly collision (obviosly)
my.shadow = on;
my.entity_type = 1;
my.passable = off;
my.polygon = on;
wait(1);
c_updatehull(my,1);
settofloor();
}

This is the function i previously gave you. You might want to place this is the same file, *.wdl, but you must place the function set to floor before the action PlayerCollide

function SetToFloor()
{
var altitude;
temp.x=my.x;
temp.y=my.y;
temp.z=my.z;
vec_set(temp2,temp);
temp2.z=-4000;
trace_mode= ignore_me + ignore_you + use_box + IGNORE_PASSABLE + IGNORE_MODELS ;
trace(temp,temp2);
altitude=target.z-10;
my.z=altitude;
my.shadow = off; //If you want it to have it's own shadow.
my.ambient=85;
mat_model.albedo = 2;

}

I hope i'm not being too confusing, waiting for you're answer.
Also don't forget to add the action to the models you want to set to the floor.
I'm using a hmp terrain... What's the terrain maker you're using?

Edit: You can also do an action just to place models on the floor for
example:

Function settofloor()
{
...
}

Action ModelToFloor()
{
settofloor();
}

Edit Again lol: I only saw that you're using a model as terrain, you can convert it to a hmp in med... Or you can make an action to set to terrain, give it a polycollision and it might work aswell even being a model.

If the model don't stay on you're model (terrain) try to add this code to the
model (terrain) and then try again.

Action terrain()
{
enable_polycollision = 2;
my.polygon = on;
my.passable = off;
}

Thanks, but I won't be able to mess with it until tomorrow.

Have you check the pivot point of your models in MED?

Mythran : No success with that solution. I'm quite sure it's because my terrain is a model.

From the manual:

Quote:

---

Convert to Terrain Converts the MDL model to a HMP terrain if its mesh is a regular grid.

---

My mesh is not a "regular grid".

Vlau: Yes, origin at the bottom.

what tool did you used to make that terrain?

Thanks to Frazzle, this one works for me,
Code:

---

function create_objects()
{
var distTrace;
wait(1);
c_setminmax(me);
my.polygon = on;
vec_set(temp, my.x);
vec_sub(temp, vector(0,0,1000));
trace_mode= ignore_me | ignore_passable | use_box;
distTrace = c_trace(my.x,temp,trace_mode);
	if (distTrace> 0)
		{
  		 my.z -= distTrace;   
		}

}

//example function
function place_object2()
{
   temp.x = 200; // place the object 200 quants in front of the creator
   temp.y = 0;
   temp.z = 0;
   vec_rotate (temp, player.pan);//be carefull to set "current_player" to your player name.
   vec_add (temp, player.x);
   ent_create(object2_mdl, temp.x, create_objects);
   
}

Just enable polygon collision in properties or by script on your model terrain (I always use model terrains)

Thats what i told him to do...
