How to get 3d position and use it to change variable

Question

How would I get the 3d position and use it to change a variable?

get_node("/root/Spatial/sfvm390wg").get_translation(by,bx,bz))
by = posdy
bx =posdx
bz = posdz

Comments

So are you trying to store the position or change the translation with variables? Because it looks like you’re trying to change the variables you just set.

I'm trying to get the position of object every frame and use it to store variables of position
that are changing.

Answer 1

The first thing that jumps out at me is that you set the variables by, bx, and bz and then change them into something else. Try out:

       get_node("/root/Spatial/sfvm390wg").get_translation(by,bx,bz))
var posdy = by
var posdx = bx
var posdz = bz

that makes more sense to me. I deal mainly with 2D and I'm not sure what the context of your code is so I hope that helps.
