SetWorldPosition(...)=

• Function Type: Engine API
• Function Category: GameObj

Description

Set the position of this object in the world

Prototype

mBool = mObj:SetWorldPosition(mLoc )

Parameters:

(GameObj) mObj: The gameobject you want to place somewhere in the world
(Loc)     mLoc: 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
Don't place GameObjects outside the map coordinates. Just don't do it. Its evil

Examples

-- puts "this" to the map origin
mLoc = Loc(0,0,0)
mResult = this:SetWorldPosition(mLoc)
print("Success: "..tostring(mResult) )

The example places the object mObj to the map origin Loc(0,0,0)
