X/Y Coordinate's

[Tyrant-Rave]

What is an easy way to figure out X/Y coordinate's on the screen. They have always troubled me and when im scripting little edits for my game, I useally have to use guess work. Is there a postitioning tool or something out there?

In the mapmaker view it will tell you what specific tile the cursor is on in the lower right corner.

I use MS Photo Editor. (Or any image editor). Capture a screendump of your game (Alt-Prnt Scrn), crop to the 640x480 window contents, then just hold or click your cursor where you want to measure. Usually the status bar in the image editor will tell you where your cursor is. You can usually use the rectangle select tool also if you want to measure from one point to another, or to determine how much to adjust something.

Or if you want to know the screen position of a specific object (events or player), you can print its screen_x or screen_y.

Like this

p $game_player.screen_x
p $game_player.screen_y
