    That happens once. "Called throughout" is vague, though. How often? Schedule it or use onUpdate(). Or trigger it through other means. Then again, you might only need to get the current camera position when you are actually going to use it :)

    So for instance. What I am building now is my world limit. So I have a getCurrentCameraPosition, and getPosition(%this.payer). I am relating these two but since my camera is moving its needs to be the most up to date, current, every xmilliseconds. If so, which situation would uou plug into? In other words how do I update.getCurrentCameraPosition? Is it as simple as 

    function onUpdate()
{
%this.getcurrentCameraPosition()
}

    :?
