Hello,
Guys, I have a whole room in MDL. I need to know the coordinates of all objects inside it, so I can separate them, put their coordinates in an XML file and then make the whole level creation much easier and dynamic. Can you please tell me how to get an object's coordinates in MED? I searched the help, and although this looks easy, I couldn't find how to do it.
Thank you in advance!

First, you need the pointer to the entity. For this, we'll say the pointer is "you".

Then, it's as simple as:
you.x - you.y - you.z
or
you.pan - you.tilt - you.roll

Here's an example for saving to a file

Code:

---

string xmlFile = "whatever.XML";
var xmlHandle;

Function saveObject(fHandle, ent)
{
    file_var_write(fHandle, ent.x);
    file_var_write(fHandle, ent.y);
    file_var_write(fHandle, ent.z);
    file_var_write(fHandle, ent.pan);
    file_var_write(fHandle, ent.tilt);
    file_var_write(fHandle, ent.roll);
}

Function saveEntities()
{
    xmlHandle = file_open_write(xmlFile);
    //
    var i = 0;
    you = ent_next(i);
    while(you)
    {
        saveObject(you)
        you = ent_next(you);
    }
    //
    file_close(xmlHandle);
}

Call saveEntities() to save all of the entities in your level to a file. It won't save them with the XML format, so the extension on your filename doesn't really matter...

good luck, hope I helped...
