This command will calculate and return the Y coordinate within the matrix given the X and Z coordinates.

Return Float=GET GROUND HEIGHT(Matrix Number, X, Z)

Matrix Number

Integer
The matrix number

X

Float
The x position

Z

Float
The y position

This command will calculate and return the Y coordinate

This command can be used to allows 3D objects to traverse the contours of any matrix landscape with ease. The matrix number should be an integer value. The coordinates should be real numbers.
