Trigger an event at a certain location

Hi.

How can you make a script trigger an event if the player is located at a certain x and y position?

i.e: Display Hud Text when the player is standing at x=2 and y=8

Thanks ;)

This would be very easy. A matter of choosing your pressure plate (hidden, or tileset) and putting a connection to you lua script function.
Put the pressure plate at the desired x,y
When the party steps on it, the hudPrint will activate.

Thanks so much. Never saw the Hidden Pressure Plate.
