Please, do not ask such basic howto questions in the "advanced help" forum, use the beginner forum instead.

First get a pointer to the current used camera and receive its position.

Code: Select all

vector3df cam_pos = YourSceneManager->getActiveCamera()->getPosition();

Then format the the cam_pos into a string using the c or c++ way.

c: sprintf()

c++: stringstream

Code: Select all

using namespace std;
stringstream sstr << cam_pos.X << "-" <<  cam_pos.Y << "-" << cam_pos.Z;
string str << sstr;

Then print it to the screen as shown in tutorial 1.

Code: Select all

YouGuiHandle->addStaticText( str.c_str(), rect<int>(10,10,200,30), true);
