I need to get the x,y location of an item that's been moving around the board; any ideas as to how I can do that?  It's entirely possible that it's really simple and I just didn't notice

any help is highly appreciated

Hmmm.... #itemlocation otta do it... If not, you should modify their wander program to keep track.

Yeah, that would work. You chould also do a shit load of #ifs or such, you know like...

#if (itemlocation = 1,1)
(
#GiveGP(100000)
)
#if (itemlocation = 5,5)
(
#TakeGP(100000)
)

The command above will most likely not work, for it is only an exsample

Most likey. If there is I should tell my oldest brother about it he has a PS2. But PS2 can still play PS1 games so I guess I'll tell him about that one. The PS RM is pretty good but I here it's about as Felixible as a steal rod!

#itemlocation might work for the initial location, but it might not update if the item moves.  If that's the case, you'll have to increment/decrement variables everytime the item takes a step.

I was afraid of that... Guess I'll need to run a test to see if #itemlocation updates

Thanks

Oh, I forgot to ask, what's the syntax for #itemlocation?  Is it just #itemlocation(itemnum!)?

Item location actually returns variables directly from the itmMem() structures, so yes, it will always be correct.

#ItemLocation(itemnum!, x!, y!, layer!)

The location will be returned in the variables x!, y!, and layer!.
