Sounds good; I'm just learning QuakeC so am wondering, will this only
yield the coordinate for the X axis? I'd think you'd want to print the _x
_y and _z values?...
Also, I'm wondering if this might be a function which would be
automatically turned off in a multi player / deathmatch game, as it might
give an advantage in navigating maps which wouldn't ordinarily be
there? -Not to mention the idea of slowing things down as you said.
Part of the game seems to me to be navigating the maps without
necessarily a point of reference? yes?...
So my thought was to have this be more of a development / editing tool
for maps since it will allow one to actually move around in the map and
figure out where things should go based on an actual point of view and
first-hand idea of the surroundings so that one can really get the idea of
what they're doing; and as I mentioned, it might also allow one to start
creating some very simple maps. -Just a thought...
anyway, thanks so much for the function idea / code. I'd love to hear your
and others thoughts on this.
Have a great day!...

Good question; I think it is not a builtin function but you could write
a function to do it for any object
void(entity obj) posinfo =
{
dprint("Object in front is a: ");
dprint(obj.classname);
dprint("\n");
dprint(ftos(obj.origin_x));
dprint(" X ");
. . .
dprint("\n");
}
I can add this as a standard function if you like for the next release.
Just be careful not to call it too often or you'll get waaaaay too much
output and things will slow down lots.
Thanks very much for letting me know this may be needed :-).
As people start to use the inbuilt functions, I may change the API to
make the function names shorter. I will help anyone update their code
if this is done; just an idea to make things easier for you in future.
best regards,
