How could I make my camera position to show while testing?
This would make it incredibly easy for positioning objects.

Thanks

Please try and make it SMALL.

I am a beginner

Try these commands:

Camera Position X()
Camera Position Y()
Camera Position Z()


They all return the camera's position on that axis.



If your text scrolls to the bottom of the screen and makes a litte black bar just add SET CURSOR 0,0 before the PRINT commands.

If you are looking for a real time update to the screen, then the text command is really better than print. It allows you to place the text anywhere you like.

This is a function I use in the majority of my programs. I always keep it in my functions.dba file I attach to most of my projects. No point wasting good code!

In action:


Function Campos(temp)
Text 10, 10, "Cam Pos x: " + str$(camera position x(temp))
Text 10, 21, "Cam Pos y: " + str$(camera position y(temp))
Text 10, 32, "Cam Pos z: " + str$(camera position z(temp))
EndFunction
