say you wanted to make a game, you have your basic player he can move and stuff, and you move him to an area where you want an object to be, instead of just testing and testing is there a way to print (well not print command but show text) of the X,Y,maybe Z coordinates of where your player is?

Thanks!

I you're using the camera as the player's position, use CAMERA POSITION X/Y/Z, or if it's an object, OBJECT POSITION X/Y/Z.

You could use the INT command to round them off.

INT. It converts float numbers into integers. Type it into DarkBASIC and press F1.

i use this



you can change the "object position x/y/z" to camera position x/y/z OR just X# Y# Z# for example.

Or you can add a number to the STR$() command that will tell it how many decimal places you want.

For example, specifying a 1 like so:



will print up to the tenths place. Writing a 0 would print the number with no decimal places at all.
