Hi!
How or where can i get actors SkipTo3D cordinates?
As far as I can tell 3ds max cordinates has nothing to do with MWEs.
Cheers!

Hello Yakuza. You can refer to the WME manual at the 3d Actor Object section: http://docs.dead-code.org/wme/generated/scripting_ref_actor3d.html (http://docs.dead-code.org/wme/generated/scripting_ref_actor3d.html).
So far I have mostly coded in full 2D, but from what I see you need the function GoTo3D(X, Y, Z) or GoTo3DAsync(X, Y, Z).

Yeah but where and/or how do i get actual 3d cordinates?

New at this myself, and I may be wrong, but in 2D mode, I do recall that the game tells you where your mouse pointer is at all times with the mouse counter on the right side of the screen while you're testing the game. Does it do that in 3D mode as well?

Nope. Those are 2d cords

As far as I can tell 3ds max cordinates has nothing to do with MWEs.
Those are the same coordinates, you just need to swap the axes, because Max uses a different coordinate system than WME. The coordinates you see in the Top view are X, Z, the height in the Front view is Y.

It's all clear now. Thanks Mnem!
