Locating place in GECK

[Riven1978]

I am having an issue in trying to locate a place from the game in the Geck... Normally i would just go to the nearest interior which won't work with where i am wanting. The place I am looking for is the most south east spot you can go in game where there is a lake with a bunch of lakelurks. I tried going to the closest interior and scanning over in the GECK but jumps around on single tiles and getting lost is starting to irritate me, was wondering if anyone knows a quicker method. I also tried looking up the use info on the lake lurks but none of them seemed to be over there.

The x,y coordinate system says that the most SE spot is around 30,-30. Searching for lakelurk objects, I find VSpawnTier3LakelurkMed, which seems like a good choice. I get "use info" on that, it shows a bunch around 24,-28. Clicking on one of those, the render window shows a lake with some rowboats. Is that what you want? You can also get to that general area by entering 24 and -28 into the X and Y fields in the cell view window, with worldspace wastelandnv selected.

That is exactly where i needed to find, Thank you. Where did you get the coordinates in game? Is there a console command for finding them?

I do not know how to get the coordinates in your current location in game. If anybody knows that would be helpful.

 

But I did not use that to give these results. Probably you know that 0,0 is near the center of the map, +X is east, and +Y is north. The useful areas on the map are usually within +- 30. So you said "southeast edge" and I thought "around 30,-30". The cell view window allows you to enter x,y coordinates if you know them.

Very interesting well now i know about that hehe. No i did not know the center was 0/0 I try not to deal with the exterior world too much, I remember the graphical plotting (X,Y,Z) from back in high school... wasn't much good at it then either >.< but know that i know what to look for i can eventually figure it out (If i remember correctly anything left or or below is negative numbers and right and above is positive) so thank you for the enlightenment :D I did Find it right away after inputting the coordinates you gave me, so they will help me in the Northwest and Northeast quadrants.
