This is a simple one but I forgot how to do it. How do you get the x and y position of a moving object? Say

load object "cornelia003.3DS",65 :
position object 65,+800,155,+1500
move object 65,+2

now i've done it several times but I can't find my example. What do i need to write to keep up with its changing position value, so I know when it crosses position +3500 to +4000, i dont want to use the dist_obj(65,XX)
i need the one thats similiar to this

x# = some value
y# = some value 2
thanks beth

Use:

x#=object position x(65)
y#=object position y(65)

DDD PProductions,

Many many thanks, when you wrote it I remembered it. I have looked in every file I had and couldn't find it. I can't believe I forgot how to write that.

As a refresher, Y is usually used as height so X and Z are the left/right and near/far values. Get used to using XZ to position an object on a map or other terrain feature and then using intersect object or get ground height to determine the Y value.
