I'm using an isometric map and I need to know the exact point where an entity is (not isometric tile), especially while it's moving. Which attribute of my entity must I get?

Sorry, solved.
If anybody other has the same question, the answer is:
Code: Select all
var wordPos = entity.worldPosition();
It's explained in .../ige-master/documentation/root/IgeEntity.html

Also you can use:
entity.translate().x()
To get and set the x co-ordinate (same for y and z) and also
entity.rotate().z()
and
entity.scale().x()
You can also access the translate, rotate and scale data via:
entity._translate
entity._rotate
entity._scale
However worldPosition() will also take into account parent transforms whereas the above data is local to the parent.

it might also be worth mentioning
This is a position relative to the browser viewport, I've found it useful placing DOM elements
