    //Reason why people end up facing the wrong direction is because placeables must be close to ground level

    //If the object is already close to ground level... no need to create a fake chair
    if((vChair.z + 0.01 > vFakeChair.z) && (vChair.z - 0.01 < vFakeChair.z))
        oFakeChair = oChair;

    //Fake Chair needed

    //If no fake chair, create one.

    SetLocalObject(oChair,"oFakeChair",oFakeChair);

Excellent script! Worked flawlessly at my new tavern, and the characters don't face east. Turned out I needed this script, because the stools I'm using refuse to sit at Z=0.00. Thanks much!

Do you have any for NPCs? I read somewhere on how to make them sit the right direction, and how to make it so they Don't fallow you with their bodies.. but I can't find it in the search now anywhere.

Works just as advertised and fixes a really irritating problem. Thanks!

Good handling of race conditions.

hey thanks for the info never did understand why the facing problem was the wrong on some things.

LOL... I know ;)

I coded this for a friend who runs a server. He has tons of invis seats in his module (most of which causes players to face the wrong direction - LOL) and he uses the same sitting script for the invis seats and placeable chairs/benches/beds/etc.

It would have taken him quite awhile to fix them all to Z=0.00 using the toolset, right clicking on the objects, selecting Adjust Location and changing them to 0.00.

This way, he can just edit his current onused script copy mine and overwrite his old code. Nothing else needed.

I just thought that I'd share it with others because I recall seeing posts on the bioware forums asking for help here :)

Erm.... you do realize that all it takes is using Adjust Position to set a seat at Z 0.0, solving the facing issue for good...
