Summary

0000162: M998's bounding box is too tall

Description

It seems that the M998's bounding box doesn't fit the model. I've attached an image to visualize the problem.

Identical code was used to attach the bench to all three objects and you can see that the M998's bench is floating above where the actual model is, whereas the others are correctly placed on top. My code (in the steps below) is using the bounding box of the objects to correctly attach the benches.

I'm not experienced with bounding boxes, but I suspect they're derived from the actual mesh of an object which could mean that there's a stray polygon or vertex floating above the vehicle mesh.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Place down an M998 in the editor
2. Load in and look at the M998
3. Run the code below from the developer console (pause menu)

Code:
_vehicle = cursorTarget;
_extension = createVehicle ["Land_Pod_Heli_Transport_04_bench_F",[0,0,50],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_dimensions = boundingBoxReal _vehicle;
_offset = [0,0,((_dimensions select 1) select 2) + ((boundingCenter _extension) select 2)];
_extension attachTo [_vehicle,_offset];

Additional Information

Only tested with the 4 door woodland variant - may also affect the others.

Notes
(0001412) Soul_Assassin (administrator) 2015-05-15 08:25	This is fine. There are antennas there that are just hidden in that perticular instance, but are there in the p3d. The bounding box is fine.
