</div>That's too bad.<br>
<br>
I would consider sliceedgex/y returning the wrong results a bug<br>
though. When scaling is implemented they will have to return positions<br>
in the slice's coordinate system.<br>
<br>
Have you tried running the game with the script profiler or a regular<br>
profiler to see where all the time is spent? I would be quite<br>
interested to know. (Assuming that it's whole due to scripts.) I<br>
believe that the slice commands are quite inefficient, which is a<br>
problem because a script interpreter won't change that (unless direct<br>
access to slice data as object members is added).<br>
