Title: [Solved]Wrong coordinates with Get Position
Post by: stigma on April 27, 2024, 02:55:59 AM

Why doesn't Get Position save object coordinates?
In other cases this action works.

you have to have "every frame" checked or it wont  get the updated position of the object you are trying to get the position of when it moves.

if I do that, the action is blocked. Yet she was walking on a test stage. It doesn't matter, I'll change the coordinates differently

is that object in the root? or a child object.

as the action is taking world position, and in inspector it shows 'Self' (local) position

It is not at the root of an object.

On the Get Position action you can set space to "world" or 'Self'
the same thing on Set Position actions.
so if you get world and you want to place it back to that position later on, then you should also use world

oh how stupid I am! Thank you so much

Edit:
but it only works with one object per scene.
