Is there any code that will display an objects x, y, and z positions on the screen? I am in a fist person view and I want to know my exact position at any time in my map, basically so I can know exactly where I want to load certain object into my map. I am new, so if there is a better way to do this, please feel free to inform me. Thanks.

look at the "basic3d/object expressions" help files.

you'll do yourself a big favor it you atleast skim through all the helpfiles and get some basic familiarization with what's available.

good luck

Thanks TDK! That is exactly what I wanted.

@Virtual Nomad:
I'll take a look at that. I've looked a several of the programs that came with DBP and the extends and they have helped me out a lot.
