The thing is, that's not enough information to answer the questions smile
For example, how are you storing the player's coordinates? Do you have variables x and y, or is there a player class, and the coordinates are properties of the class?

Once you know that, getting coordinates is pretty straight forward, since you can say something like speech.speak("At coordinates " + x + ", " + y + ".");, or use an alert if that's what you're using for output.

As for staying in bounds... take a look at the chapter on ifs and conditionals again, since that should make it more apparent.

First, The function spawn_tile isn't something that comes with bgt. It is probably a part of an include. All of those, Tiles, walls, etc are depending on the map handling system you coded for your game. Coordinates can be vectors, ints, doubles, etc and as c a e jones said they might be the propertis of that class. Although I believe if you read manual and have understood it clearly, calling a variable in any from shouldn't be a big deal

you would have to say:
if(key_pressed(KEY_C))
{
speak(me.x+" "+me.y+" "+me.z);
}
that should work if you have a vector with the name me and you use that for the positioning of your player or what ever

We run into the issue though if someone trying to code beyond their meant. Don't use public classes until you can write your own, etc. Write anything that you ca, even if its something stupidly small, but entirely your own code. You're trying to cut corners by using all these includes, which really do cut some of the crap out of coding, but you have to know what's going on under the hood before you use these classes.

@4, you need a speak function before you can go using that. Assuming he's not using any other includes, that will need to be defined.

hi fox
about the  coords? , you can use like this code that i use if you did the x, y and z
if(key_pressed(KEY_C))
{
v.say(me.x+", "+me.y+", "+me.z);
}

this is as far  i know
