positionentity and childentity

is it possible to get the x#,y#,and z# of a child entity of the global scale?

nevermind, i found the correct code, and now i feel foolish

Don't. The local/global optional flags are easily missed if you skim the docs :o)

now i actually do have a problem,
I have a box parented to a camera which is parented to a pivot point,
now the box fire missiles using the positionentity and rotateentity commands, and it looks fine if i am firing at a pitch of 0 degrees, but if i start to tilt the camera up the missiles begin to angle themselves below the gun, and it gets more severe as i tilt higher

hi

as with the position, for the correct angle you have to get the correct orientation (entitypitch, yaw and roll) in the global system, adding the global (true) flag.

I did that

I suppose you will say that, but I have to ask!

When that thing's happen to me (more often than I want) I start to put Debuglog's reporting me global and local coordinates and orientation's of the parent's and child's, even of those that obviously are correct ( because most of the time, the obviously correct, are wrong)

hope that help

very odd, for some reason when i unparent the camera so the gun is parented to the camera only, the shots work fine

is is possible that a parent entity and child entity messes up rotation and position?

I have tried to make elevators before using child entity but when my character tries to move on the elevator it accelerates at an astounding rate

Can you post the code?
