When should I use world or local coordinates while using the GetObjPosition?
#GetObjPosition Question: What's the difference between world and local coordinates?

local coordinates are relative to the parent obj, world coordinates are relative to the level
i believe i explained to you the relation between parent/child object position and rotation before
if all your objects are attached to ROOT only, then local space 0,0 is always the center of the unit
world space 0,0 is always bottom left corner of the map

I see. thanks.

local coordinates are relative to the parent obj, world coordinates are relative...
So when do I do this? Or do you have an example of usage?

well if you place an obj to 0,0 in local pos, it will be the center of your unit.
if you place at 0,0 in world pos, it will get placed in the bottom left of the map. but the obj is still relative to the unit, so if the unit moves, the obj will as well
for objs in 98% cases youll probably want local pos unless youre doing some special stuff
