Store locations within a database

[Legacy_Ivanovich]

               Yeah, I think I'll store the location through the three floats and the area name and then rebuild it when the item is activated to assure the location doesn't get messed.

               Why not just store a LocalLocation and the TagOf the Area.

object oPlayer = OBJECT_SELF;
location lPlayer = GetLocation(oPlayer);
string sAreaTag = GetTag(GetArea(oPlayer));

ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(925), oPlayer, 0.0);
object oJewel = CreateItemOnObject("starjewel", oPlayer);
SetLocalLocation( oJewel,"JewelLoc",lPlayer);
SetLocalString ( oJewel,"JewelArea",sAreaTag);
SetCutsceneMode(oPlayer, TRUE);
DelayCommand(4.0, SetCutsceneMode(oPlayer, FALSE));


then to rebuild you location to make sure the area is correct would look something like this.

location lLoc = GetLocalLocation( oJewel,"JewelLoc");
string sAreaTag =GetLocalString ( oJewel,"JewelArea");
lLoc = Location(GetObjectByTag(sAreaTag),
                          GetPositionFromLocation( lLoc),
                          GetFacingFromLocation( lLoc)
                          );

  I'd never considered that only part of the location was becoming invalid on rebuilds.  That fixes up a problem I'd been having in my little mods OnEnter script, being able to rebuild it that way.  I thought I was going to have to go with floats as well, it's why I never bothered fixing it, too much of a nuisance that way.
