Igor Q. 519 Posted April 24, 2022 I made an animated group and tried to find it's position but it won't return me any information. I have tried both while the group is moving and while it's not moving but I can't seem to get any returns. Am I doing something wrong or is this the intended result? It's super frustrating having no way to get the position of an animated object, especially when it has an existing pivot point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted April 24, 2022 As far as I know there is no way to get the group position property (as the warning says. yeah its weird but consider the get position tile expects an entity not a group). My workaround for this is to create entity wield(s) and then group the entity wield(s), then you can get the position from the entity wield. If I remember correctly you need to use the Translate Position tile to get the position with offset of 0,0,0. (regular get position just returns entity wield position relative to the group). We need more tools for working with groups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you are right, the tile transform position with zero offset returns you to the position of the entity in the group.and yes,we rly need more tiles for working with groups 🙏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houp 237 Posted April 25, 2022 Hi, unfortunately there is not this feature (yet). You can "hack it" - place Reference point in the group's pivot position and use "Transform position <reference point> <0, 0, 0>". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houp 237 Posted April 29, 2022 I hope I will be able to influence others to have it in the next 1.10 update. However, no promises. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
