Finding player cordinates?

[abhi2011]

What is the code for finding the player coordinates and storing them so that i can use it for a control? The coordinates are displayed when "/loc" is inputted but that is not what I want so don't suggest it. Something like "GetPlayerPos"

Why do you want to know this?

What do you mean by control?
Controlling the player's character while he/she is online?

What's the point of that,if the player moves around,getting many coords.
But first explain more detailed what are you thinking

I think they're already stored in Player(MyIndex).Map, Player(MyIndex).X and Player(MyIndex).Y

I mean the player's position (if it is the same as coordinate)on the screen cuz i want to try and make a right click option and when right clicked should come up near the player. And Erwin doesn't player(myindex) mean the player that is playing? like if i were playing it would be me?

Player position is the same as coordinates I guess, Player(index).X and the other stuff displays the player X and Y position on the map, so thesame as you see when the /loc thing is turned on.
And Player(MyIndex) has nothing to do if the player if playing, because you can only check that at server side with IsPlaying sub, its an array with data of the player. (Please note that MyIndex can only be used at client side and will always be the player playing at the client)

So client side is for the person playing the game and server side can be used for any player? So does that mean I have will have to write the code for sending a packet and stuff?

I also wanted to ask if there was a need to wirte  a packet why is there a write.buffer code in client/server  TCP module. And what is cls.buffer?

I think you can use PlayerSearch for that.
