How do I get the my hud's x and y

Edited:

how do I return my huds X and Y in a textbox

I tried "X: " & hud.X

but it doesn't update it just is 0 all the time

and yes its in a every tick event

Edit2: I want to return my huds origin points x and y in the layout

not the layer and not the screen

If you hud-object is on a layer without paralax it's coordinates will stay the same..

Maybe you can get what you want using these expressions:

CanvasToLayerX(layer, x, y)

CanvasToLayerY(layer, x, y)

Calculate the layout co-ordinates underneath a position in canvas co-ordinates for a given layer.

LayerToCanvasX(layer, x, y)

LayerToCanvasY(layer, x, y)

Calculate the canvas co-ordinates above a position in layout co-ordinates for a given layer.

ya in most spots of the layout these return null or -

bug maybe?

Edit: LittleStain

I think this is a bug but I am using r206 and r211

I removed the ("HUD X: " &) from ("HUD X: " & CanvasToLayerX(0,hud.X,hud.Y)) and it started returning the correct values

Edit2: ok so it must of been something with my project getting the null and -

but these functions still do not return the correct values

they seem to have different offsets depending on where i put my hud in my room

for example

my huds origin is 0,0 on the sprite so I need it to always return 0,0 when my hud is at the top left of the room

LittleStain plz reply

Shadowblitz16 did you find a solution?

sorry I've been away from these forums for a while I don't even have the project I was working on anymore

however If I run into this problem again I will let you guys know
