| I have some placeholder objects several transform levels deep. Their translations are, of course, relative to their parent group. I need to determine their absolute translations for the default items XML file. Is there a simple way to do this? |

| Create a transform group, place it with Ctrl-B exactly where your object has its origin (gizmo). Perhaps make the object invisible (temporarily) for better placement. Or write a simple GE-script which calculates local-to-world position of a TG. |

| "Or write a simple GE-script which calculates local-to-world position of a TG." That sounds like exactly what I need to do, but I have no idea how to do that :-( |

| Select menu Script -> Create new script Enter (copy'n'paste) ---------- code ---------- local node = getSelection(0) if node > 0 then local x,y,z = getWorldTranslation(node) print(string.format("x=%d y=%d z=%d",x,y,z)) end -------------------------- For usage activate console window, select a TG, run the script If you need it more precise, replace in string.format() the "%d" eg. for two digits with "%.2f". |
