Using dbpro. How do I print the camera x y z position on the screen so I can place objects in my level at the correct place?

Though that'd give a number unseperated, not too hard to figure out but for someone that doesnt know how to get the camera positions I think a little more clarity is needed. Use three seperate prints instead, its easier to understand:

Or, edit the code that code master supplied to be a little more clear:

Come to think of it, Master your code would just output the sum of the three positions.

Actually, with strings, the + operator only concontuates(SP?) or adds together the strings. I admit that my code would just run the numbers together, but i didn't have time to fix that. I don't know what the "|" operator does, but i assume it's the same as the +.

In most OOP programming languages yes it does. But with DBP no it doesnt. The | in there isnt an operator, its a string separating the three numbers, so if your camera was at 10, 30, 50, it'd print:

10 | 30 | 50
