How do I get position of player on screen/canvas?

Hei!

Is there a way to get the coordinates of a object eg. my player on the canvas?

Lets say my canvas is 720x480 pixel. My player is standing on pixel 196,64 which would be top/left of the canvas.

How to get these values into the code?

Greetings!

let's say you want to set an some_object to the obj_player

add action > set position x=obj_Player.X y=obj_Player.Y

So you have a lot of options like setting a variable, ...

Use the system layer expressions. For example you can subtract viewportleft from player.x to get the player's position relative to the viewport.

Thanks you! ViewPort was the keyword for me.
