Didn't you ask this in one of the multiple threads you created over the past few weeks?

Anyhow, to do it, simply divide the matrix width by the amount of xtiles ( this will give you the width of each tile ) and the matrix height by the amount of ztiles ( this will give you the length of each tile ).

Then, get the object's X position, and divide it by the width of the tiles, and do the same for the Z position, and voila, you should have the tile number...

eg:


Hope I Helped...
