Character Selection in Get Location Info

[Shaz]

In addition to Direct Designation and Designate with Variables, allow the Get Location Info command to specify a character (Player, This Event, or selected event), and the code behind would grab the x/y position of that character.

This would save having to use two Control Variable commands to get the x/y position followed by the Get Location Info command, or bypassing the command altogether to try and write it in script format in a conditional branch.

It would be like:

Get Location Info > Region Id > Player's Location

Just make sure to still allow it to check x/y based on variables, since that can be used for images and the like. >.<)b

Sure - I wasn't suggesting removing anything that's already there.

YES!

This, combined with a 1 opacity picture common event, allows you to position a button over a MOVING actor, which would be insanely useful for so many reasons...

I can see them removing one feature and replacing it with the other. lol However, yes, I do want the current feature to remain and this new feature to be added.

Why would they remove a feature?
