How to get position of an entity?

[EliteAsian123]

How do I get the position of let's say, the player?

Short answer: noa.ents.getPosition(noa.playerEntity)

Long answer: entity data all lives in components, and entity positions live in the position property of the state object of the position component. So the explicit way to get the data would be:

var entID = noa.playerEntity  // 1
var compName = noa.ents.names.position  // "position"
var posdata = noa.ents.getState(entID, compName)
console.log(posdata.position)

However the entities module defines a bunch of accessors for often-used data, here is where they're all defined.

By the way, noa entity positions are always the bottom-center of the entity's AABB.
