obtain position of object, while assigned to a path constraint

[Anonymous]

Anyone know how to obtain the X,Y,Z position of a object, such as a box, if the box is set on path constraint?

The problem is my box is assigned to a path constraint, so that it follows the path.
When I do this, I cant see the position data of the box in the curve editor.
The path constraint works to a percentage, and has no reference to the position!

Do you know how I can obtain the position of the box when it is on a path constraint?

Could you link a dummy to the box, so that you can get the position of the dummy?

Regardless of the controller, every node has a .transform property containing its transformation matrix. The controllers are just means to create, store and maintain that matrix. So when it doubt, just ask for 'theObject.transform.row4'

Alternatively, you can create an ExposeTM helper and pick the box as the exposed node - it will give you the correct position among other data...
