3d positioning

[droggam]

Hi leta say i have a spaceship, how do i define a special point in vector3 y,z,x

with help with THE scene in My case i try attach a flag but dont know how to find 3d position easiest possible way?

I'm not sure I understand. You can define a vector3 position? It is very simple :

mesh.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(5, 1.0,  12);

You can get a position with :

var positionVector3 = mesh.position.clone();

var positionX = mesh.position.x;

ye i understand i guess i need to bruteforce try get the correct position

problem with your solution is it get the center of the spaceship but not like on top of it where i want my flag?

I do not understand what you mean. Maybe a PG will help to better understand.

Hi, to get the top position you can pick with a ray:
