Recovering data from another entity does not work

[Yue]

Script.Yue = nil --entity "Malla Jugador"
Script.Pivote = nil --entity "Pivote"

unction Script:PostRender(context)
 

	context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
	context:SetColor(1,0,0,1)
	context:DrawText(self.Pivote:GetRotation().z,2,2) --No Update Position X, y or Z.
	context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
	context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)
	context:DrawStats(2,22)
	



	
end

I want to retrieve the rotation angles of another entity to update another entity with that data. But it doesn't work for me, any suggestions?

[Defranco]

It would be  self.Pivote:GetPosition() for position
and (self.Pivote:GetRotation().x.0)  (example) for rotations

there is also GetAngle() in the documentation but I've never used this one

[Yue]

Ok, thanks, I've corrected, however neither GetPosition, nor GetRotation, updates their new rotation angle, nor their new position.  I don't know what I still have to do.

What are you trying to do? Get another entity's position written on the screen?

[Yue]

I have the character controller, a small cube in the center of the character controller and a weighing inside the character controller. 

The camera is daughter of the small cube, and the small cube turns according to the movement of the mouse, what I want is to rotate the character and the character controller according to the Y angle in which the cube turns, but I can't get it to work. 

The goal is that when you press the W key, according to the angle of the cube or the camera, the character controller changes its angle in the direction of the camera or the cube. But I can't get it to work.

Well, the evidence indicates that if I create a separate cube, and try to recover its rotational or positional coordinates if it works, it seems that the problem is that those elements are related to each other and that's why I can't recover that data.

 

[havenphillip]

So the camera moves with the cube as you move the cube but the character doesn't move?

[havenphillip]

Something like this maybe on the cube? I had to child the cube to the player. The numbers work and it follows the player but I don't know if it's what you're trying to do exactly you might have to mess with it.

 

Script.Yue = nil --entity "Malla Jugador"
Script.Pivote = nil --entity "Pivote"

function Script:PostRender(context)
 
    self.pos = self.entity:GetPosition(true)
    DrawX = self.pos.x
    context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
    context:SetColor(1,0,0,1)
    context:DrawText(""..Math:Round(DrawX), 2, 2)
    context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
    context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)
    context:DrawStats(2,22)
