Drop User Library Object to Cursor Release Position

I have a user library object (a group of contained objects) that is always created at the same coordinates, probably the x,y,z of the template that got added to the library. I have tried the following code in the dropscript to grab cursorinfo and change coordinates:

  1. treenode object = dropuserlibraryobject(node("..>object", c));
  2. Object newobject = object.as(Object);
  3. double mousex = cursorinfo(c,2,1,1); //find mouse x
  4. double mousey = cursorinfo(c,2,2,1); //find mouse y
  5. newobject.location.x = mousex;
  6. newobject.location.y = mousey;

This puts the object in a different location, but a long way off from where the cursor was. I have tried 1, 2, and 6 as the type of operation to similar results. Should I be using something other than c in the dropscript, or maybe delete spatial data from the object?

The coordinates you're looking for are already passed into the dropscript function. You should just pass these parameters straight into the dropuserlibraryobject function like this:

  1. treenode ontoObject = param(1);
  2. double x = param(2);
  3. double y = param(3);
  4. double z = param(4);
  5. treenode view = param(5);
  6.  
  7. dropuserlibraryobject(node("..>object", c), ontoObject, x, y, z, view);
