Title: Actual [x,y,z] coords
Post by: Arctic on 23 Jan 2003, 21:53:26

I still dont understand what i am supposed to use to find the exact coordinates of places. I know there is some Laser Designator Script thing, but what is it?

here u can find out what the x, y,z values are for a object:
i think this should work, i haven't done it this way before

Code: [Select]

; Made by HAMMY

;how it works: [OBJECTNAME] exec "xyz.sqs"
_obj = _this select 0

_xPos = _obj Select 0
_yPos = _obj Select 1
_zPos = _obj Select 2

TitleText [format[" X: %1 ", _xPos], "PLAIN DOWN"]
TitleText [format[" Y: %1 ", _yPos], "PLAIN DOWN"]
TitleText [format[" Z: %1 ", _zPos], "PLAIN DOWN"]

exit

if this isn't what u need, i think there is something in the editors depot

I actually used Hammy's thing, except I combined the three formats into one. Yay
