Engine Function Documentation Template

{You can use the code of this page as a template when creating a function documentation in the Category:Shards Online Lua Interface or Category:Function Reference category. Everything italic in curly brackets is just a comment or explanation and not part of the template.}

You can copypaste this block for your function Documentation:

== <code>'''SetWorldPosition(...)'''</code> ===
{|
|-
| Function Type: || Engine API
|-
| Function Category: || GameObj
|}

===Description ===
Sets the position of this object in the world

=== Prototype ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
mBool = mObj:SetWorldPosition(mLoc )
</syntaxhighlight>

Parameters:
{|
|-
| <code>(GameObj) mObj:</code> || The gameobject you want to place somewhere in the world
|-
| <code>(Loc)     mLoc:</code> || The location where to put the object
|}

Return Values
 (boolean) mBool: True on success. False otherwise.

=== Notes and Caveats ===
This works for both mobile and non-mobile objects. This will remove objects from containers and equipment slots
<br>Don't place GameObjects outside the map coordinates. Just don't do it. Its evil

=== Examples ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
-- puts "this" to the map origin
mLoc = Loc(0,0,0)
mResult = this:SetWorldPosition(mLoc)
print("Success: "..tostring(mResult) )
</syntaxhighlight>
The example places the object mObj to the map origin Loc(0,0,0)
