How can I set the world coordinates on an object's transform?
Here is a simple example : an object would be sliding on the ground, its motion would be constrained to an object flying above, but its translation Y would be always 0.
Where in the docs can I find this kind of info?
Thanks

If you're trying to access the world coordinates of an object then see this thread:

Not sure if this helps

Hello Dan
Many thanks for your help and this link.
So here's what I did:
Create a cube and a sphere , positioned the sphere at 4 above the cube.
In the cube's parameters pane > tab “transform” > added these expressions in X and Z : vtorigin(“”, “../sphere_object1”) . Check attached pic.
Now when I move the sphere in X, the cube moves, but in a weird way, it progresses on the grid along a 45° axis.
Moving the cube in Z does nothing.
There must be something missing, I should be able to access the global X and Z translation of the sphere…
Thanks

vtorigin() returns vector, and since you are not specifying which component to use, both of your parameters use first, so both are controlled by sphere's global X position
so you want to specify components for X and Z respectively like this:


but you can as well just create Blend Constraint and uncheck TY

Thanks a lot !! It works now
