is there a command if your targeting a npc, to know the loc of that target? trying to figure out locs of spawns so i can do search loc to find out where it is each time.

${Target.X}
${Target.Y}

Don't think I would use that method myself...

{$If[${String[${Target.Type}].Equal["NPC"]},${Target.Y} ${Target.X} ${Target.Z},]}

Could put that in your MQ2Hud. Also, I put YXZ cause I'm pretty sure that's the order it is instead of XYZ. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Posted: **Wed Jun 08, 2005 2:35 pm**

Yep, for some stupid reason EQ Devs decided YXZ is better than the reg XYZ..

Posted: **Wed Jun 08, 2005 3:44 pm**

To tell you the truth, it was MQ devs not EQ devs that called it YXZ. EQ devs probably do call it XYZ. EQ's coordinate system is not traditional where X would be east/west and Y north/south with Z up/down. Instead it's more like .. X is north/south, Y is west/east (west being positive), Z is up/down. I argued about this with the devs some time ago and had it simply X Y Z when the MQ2Data system was implemented, but ended up putting it back to Y X Z simply because thats how it always was with MQ.

Why convert a string to a string?

Use this instead:

Code: Select all

{$If[${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]},${Target.Y} ${Target.X} ${Target.Z},]}

I tried explaining the coordinate system of EQ once before ... don't think it stuck but I'll try again.

EQ locations are based on a cartographical notation lat, long, alt which on a geometric x/y/z plane would equate to Y, X, Z.

Posted: **Fri Jun 10, 2005 5:02 am**

Then why is east/west reversed?

regardless, what the hell is this post doing in the general forum instead of the help forum?

locking.
