The constructor for a location is the Location function.

Literals

• SetLocalLocation
• SetEventLocation

The following functions allow a location which exists outside of the scope of the current script to be used in the current script by retrieving it from an object or event:

• GetEventLocation

Examples

void main()
{
    // uninitialised
    location lDefault;
 
    // initialised using the constructor
    location lConstructed = Location(oArea, vPosition, fFacing);
 
    // assigned using the Player's location
    location lAssigned = GetLocation(GetHero());
