Is there a way to get the Position back in Vector Coords?

The getPosition() returns the Position as a float value. But i need the coords in the way you type it in the core::vector3df variable. Is there a way to get them back in that way or are just the long float available

According to the API the getPosition() of an ISceneNode returns a const core::vector3df..

Sorry for doppelpost but that seems not to work like it should.
The values i get out of the vector3df.x and .y are different but they are too big to be the right numbers and they are too often 0

try getAbsolutePosition

getAbsolutePosition().X gives me also values that can't be right

Are you using version 0.4.1?

I'm jusing Version 0.4.0

Well I'd recommend getting 0.4.1.. I had some positioning issues with 0.4 which cleared up when I upgraded.

I just updated to Version 0.4.1 but that has no effect on the Values given to me.

are you using the FPS camera? the get and setPosition methods do not work with the FPS camera for me. I wish they did, they would be very useful...

Yeah i'm using the FPS camera. I haven't tried the setPosition yet but i think i'll try it soon to test whether that works or not.
