[LE] Does anyone know how to get Coord data (x,y) from a Location?

[Mrogo334]

I'm using OnLocationChange(Location akOldLoc, Location akNewLoc) and needed help finding a way to get the Coord data from each of the location parameters.

Thanks

Locations don't have coordinates. They are groups of cells.

Get the X and Y position of the object and divide both by 4096.

 

Something like(tested)

Float CoordX
Float CoordY

Function GetCellCoordinates(ObjectReference akRef)
                    
    CoordX = akRef.GetPositionX() / 4096.0
    CoordY = akRef.GetPositionY() / 4096.0

EndFunction

If you don't want absolute coordinates and just the X Y of the Cell seen in the editor, cast both as int to remove the decimals to the right.

 

Now in case you get the idea that you can move things to position based on cell coordinates, I can confirm that being possible, but I believe some knowledge in trigonometry is needed as my testing shows that moving based on coordinates alone will have actors/objects in mid air.
