the other. You should get them to line up fairly close. Zoom in on one edge and use CTRL + the
Arrow Keys to move the pieces in small increments until the pieces are squared up.
4. If you need to re-center the spot you are trying to line up, press Control-Shift-Left Mouse and
then re-zoom.
5. Now that the pieces are lined up, you will need to adjust their height so one is on top of the
other. Each piece has a Z and an AZ number in the Info window. These are vertical coordinates.
AZ is absolute height over the map’s 0 point. Z is the height over that spot of terrain. Use the [ or
] keys to switch selections and check their Z number. Press Shift and the Up and Down arrows to
change the altitude in meter increments. Once the two numbers are close, press Shift – Control
and the arrow keys to move the piece in smaller increments. Zoom in on a small section where
the top and bottom of the two containers are to merge and adjust the height until they are
perfectly lined up. The end result should be about 3 meters difference.
6. Since the cargo container ladders aren’t meant to be stacked, you should rotate the top piece a
few degrees to create a small
ledge. Do this by pressing the T
key to get a top-down view and
then pressing SHIFT + RIGHT
or LEFT MOUSE until it rotates
about fifteen degrees.
7. Now move the barrel on top of
the stacked containers. Press [ or ]
until it’s highlighted and use all the
previous functions to place it on
top of the both containers.
Once everything is in place, save
and export your mission. Load the
mission and see how you did.
See Appendix C for a complete
