GetPosition

Latest revision as of 00:18, 9 February 2014

Get the current object position in 3d space.

• object : object to operate on

 objectpos = getPosition(object)

Then you can use your object coordinates like this :

• objectpos[1]: X position
• objectpos[2]: Y position
• objectpos[3]: Z position

Example 1: Press Space to display the X position of the object in Maratis console window.

   object = getObject("object") 
   -- Scene update
   function onSceneUpdate()
       objectpos = getPosition(object) -- you can rename objectpos whatever you want
       if isKeyPressed("SPACE") then print(objectpos[1]) end
   end

See setPosition(object) function for a more advanced usage.
