Determining player coordinates on the client

Hi all,

After combing the forums, resources, and finally #garagames (Thanks, PaulDana!), I finally unearthed a straightforward way to obtain a client's positional data in both TorqueScript and C++. Of course, this isn't anything new for TGE vets, but I'm posting this for easy access by other rookies.

TorqueScript
------------
(ServerConnection.getControlObject()).getPosition();


C++
---
// Get game connection object
GameConnection* conn = GameConnection::getServerConnection();
if (!conn)
return;

// Get control object
ShapeBase* control = conn->getControlObject();
if (!control)
return;

// Get coords of player object
Point3F newCoord = control->getPosition();


A simple bit of code that's now simple to find! =D

Ah, I need this too as I haven't had time to figure it out myself as of yet.
