For years I've been asking for an editor level display of the actual terrain location values (X,Z) , so important for creating movement scripts. Prayers answered. As part of the GGX entity display there are now the actual location values.

Thanks

I also am happy with X,Y location in GGMax, but will still need to be scripted to entity; it will make it so much easier to plan the game strategies.

I've created hundreds (if not thousands!) of movement scripts without this 'feature'.

The entity knows where it is why do you need to know?

"The entity knows where it is why do you need to know?"

For one thing, a person could determine the size of object by knowing
exactly where cursor coordinates are. Handy when scaling object to fit
a certain footprint for example.
I've come across the need for this on occasion, and wanted to find a
ruler entity (I think someone did that), and there's been a few other
uses for it in scripting...

So what I've done in the past is take an object of known dimensions--
'sandy floor' for example includes in name '400x400', then when I
wanted to lay out plots of 2000 segments square, I scale it @ 500, 500.

Luckily the scale is saved after test game.
I can then use that to mark out 2000 segment areas (use a texture line).
Just not all items reveal their sizes. I like to measure out things like the
width of rivers or size of buildings on Google Earth's ruler. I'm weird.

In my weirdness, I cannot fathom the deepness of the world's deepest
river- do you know how deep it is?! Can you fathom that? It's crazy!

There are Lua functions to get the dimensions of an entity.

The easiest way to use them is via the physlib GetObjectDimensions function.

To get the offset from one entity to another I use the attached script.
Simply attach it to two dynamic entities and it will give you the x, y, z offsets from one to the other.
