If you already know the axis you can use getobjectminx/y/z and getobjectmaxx/y/z to find the extremities of the object

yeh I use these to/ move the 3D cursor around so it can snap together,but how do i get the radius value with these?

I wanna place objects and have that value stored rather than just using a fixed value

the way i do now is:



calling the function like so:
casterplayer(player[playerpointer].id,oldx#,oldy#,oldz#,30,0)


the 30 value is the radius,the 0 value after that is the mode as the function has a couple,mode 0 for sphere cast, and mode 1 for raycast,mode 1 obviously doesnt need a radius!but in mode 0 of course this fixed value is no good as i want it to be worked out based on the objects size, which could be anything!

If your object is a circular shape then getobjectmaxx() - getobjecminx() will give you the radius
