Absolute Position, Relative Position???

Development Programming & Scripting Verse

I want to get the absolute position of an object and move it using that absolute position. Let me explain my method. First, I use GetTransform().Translation to get the position and then adjust the Position with Vector3. After that, I use the MoveTo function with Spawn. However, with this method, it doesn’t seem to move using the absolute position. As a countermeasure, I also changed the position setting in Verse from relative to world, but the issue was not resolved. I’d appreciate any advice.

Hi @renzymode

I’m curious as to the syntax you’ve written so that we can further assist you but here’s what I think.

The MoveTo(position, rotation, duration) function expects the destination position in world coordinates, not relative.

@editable
var PropToMove : creative_prop = creative_prop{}

OnBegin<override>()<suspends> : void =
    # Get absolute world position of the prop
    CurrentTransform := PropToMove.GetTransform()
    CurrentPosition := CurrentTransform.Translation
    CurrentRotation := CurrentTransform.Rotation

    # Create new absolute position (move 100 units up)
    NewPosition := vector3{
        X := CurrentPosition.X,
        Y := CurrentPosition.Y,
        Z := CurrentPosition.Z + 100.0
    }

    # Use MoveTo with absolute world position

    PropToMove.MoveTo(NewPosition, CurrentRotation, 2.0)

Let me know if you have any other questions or if this doesn’t solve your issue

I wanted to get the player’s position and move an object around that area. I’d like to try again using your code as a reference. Right now, code suggestions in VSCode are not showing up, so I’ll challenge it again after I solve the VSCode issue. Thank you so much!!
