Get player position(SOLVED)

Questions
#1

I’m trying to get the position of a player game object withing my enemy code then simply printing it to see if it works.
*
Self.playerpos = go.get_position("#player")
Print(self.playerpos)
*
however it keeps printing it’s own position

#2

Try this instead:

self.playerpos = go.get_position("/player")

The hash # symbol denotes a component within the same game object - which is why you’re getting the enemy position back.

I tried but it gives me an error saying /player not found

#5

What is the id of the player game object?

#6

It’s just called player

You need to figure out what the correct address of the player is. The absolute address includes the sum of all the collections that it’s in. I suggest you re-read the Addressing Manual so you know how it works. The easy way to check is to put print(msg.url()) in the player script somewhere (like init()).
