So i just started using DGDK and so far i havent had a problem, however I've decided i wanted to make a small 3D rts , i loaded my terrain , made my objects tested basic movement (walking on y axis of terrain and all that) now im trying to make a object that wherever i click on the terrain it will go to the terrain's Y Value (+20 or something like that) and then the X and Y cords of where i clicked .... i haven't any idea how to do it.

Use this function to obtain terrain's height in specified location:

dbGetTerrainGroundHeight ( int iID, float fX, float fZ )

and follow the description I've provided in this thread:

Hey Etane, did you figure it out? If not I think I made a pretty simple way to do it here
