Thank You, I was able to come up with this bit of code which was what I was seeking:

Code: Select all

Actor p_Player = GetPointer(AAPTR_PLAYER1);

if (self.Pos.z > p_Player.Pos.z){
	A_Print("Monster is Higher");
} else {
	A_Print("Player is Higher");
}
:mrgreen:

An actor's position is stored as a vector which is named Pos. So you want to use Pos.z, in your case. Of course, the same goes for when you want to access x an y.

If I attempt to use the DECORATE variable 'z' in my ZSCRIPT function, it gives me a warning in the console saying that it is deprecated since 3.2.0. Is there a way around this?

Basically, I am trying to find out if a enemy that is attacking me is above or below me for A_ThrowGrenade() ! I've tried exact numbers and it seems to work but not for up/down dynamically! :bang:
