Do use the filter that comes with Alt Syntax to suit your needs. For example player has 3 selections called "head" and their selectionPositions are quite different from each other: player selectionPosition ["head", "Memory"]; // [0.173798,0.330415,1.37783] player selectionPosition ["head", "FireGeometry"]; // [0.14375,0.206039,1.44689] player selectionPosition ["head", "HitPoints"]; // [0.144257,0.306769,1.53471]
