SOLVED: Plane Subdivisions FaceId as a Label?

[JackFalcon]

Super hard to find -> faceId Labels on Ground Plane Subdivisions?

Looked everywhere, thought I saw it once. Going to go ahead a write the loop, [now] (similar to the awesome-> boxify)but still, does that exist already? 

Thx.

grab the vertex data, get the indices and the positions, using the indices get the correct position values and average them then place a label.

I did it with vertices once, Im not sure where that PG is though ill have to dig it up.  To do the faces will be just a extra step but the same process.  Let me see if i can find that PG.


*EDIT*

This will get you there.

Rock and Roll @Pryme8!  A solution brewing here...  will use that link too. Thx!

SOLUTION:

Playground with the full loop....

... and some text formatting.

 

PURPOSE: these faceIds are the same as a downRay retrieves when moving.

So the index can be keyed in a metaMap which can then trigger metaBehaviors, based on the position of the character.

EXAMPLE: enemies or environment can change behavior depending where you step.

So easily seeing faceID is essential to key metaMap. 

[Happy to post the metaMap architecture as well if asked].
