GetGroundZ

The surface under a point.

The height of the first surface under the point - a ray from half a metre over it, 100 m down: the paving, a bridge, a roof, an upper storey, wherever the level’s geometry is. Where the geometry has nothing (open terrain), nil: ask GetTerrainHeight then. Where a spawn, a prop or a teleport should land.

Syntax

GetGroundZ(x, y, z)

Parameter	Type
x	number	metres
y	number	metres

Returns

the height in metres, or nil when nothing is under the point (or without the geometry)

Example
