I'm trying to write a script using GetPos. The script is supposed to get the x,y,z,angle and cellname of an NPC (Ajira for test purposes) and display them on screen. I'm using MWEdit to compile the script because the script has some MWSE functions in it. It won't compile, and it's not clear to me why. MWEdit gives an error message. "Unknown object ID "Ajira" found!" referencing the line 'set NPCx to "Ajira"->GetPos, x' I have tried a variation or two of that line but still get an error. The MWSE code to display Ajira's cell ID does work and displays it in game. When I get this working, my next step will be to pass (right term?) those values to xPositionCell to move my player character to where Ajira is.

I'm stumped. My original attempt was based on what I saw in the examples in Morrowind Scripting for Dummies and on what I've read in various threads in this forum. However, once I tried to find and fix the error, I noticed that there is a wide variation in how GetPos is written in the examples but no explanation I've seen to say why it is written one way or the other. I find it confusing. A comma between the function name GetPos and the axis argument is there in some examples and missing in others.
pleyer -> GetPos X
player -> GetPos, X
npc_objectID -> GetPos, x
npc_objectID -> GetPos x
"npc_objectID" -> GetPos, X

I have also read one or two suggestions that GetPos should be done on one line and not be split into multiple lines, one line for each axis due to concern that the engine would have problems, but all the examples using GetPos show it being split being done one axis at a time.

What am I overlooking here?

Thanks.
