Locate Player

[Dustpuppy 16]

Hi,

does anyone know, how i can locate a player?

The problem (or challange) is, that the position of everything will change it self. It's for a Advance Rocketry warp ship and the absolute coordinates in the world (space) will change, as soon as the ship moves. That means, that really everything on the ship will change it's position. Also every scanner, sensor and the computers.

Working with absolute coordinates is not possible.

As in locate any player anywhere in the map? You can't, atleast not without a debug card i believe. Motion sensor can detect movement in a small radius and navigation card can get your position relative to a map or waypoint.

I think Gorzoid means a 'debug' card

How do i access the player or the world object?

If i do :

local component = require("component")

print(component.debug.getPlayer("Dusty"))

all i get is li.cil.oc.server.component.DebugCard$WorldValue@329065a

No Idea how to work with the debug card in the right way to get players coordinates.
