Do you mean the commands for part of a script or as described above?

if its verts and such I would use xform

Select the vert and use the following in the script editor

xform -q - t ;

To get the position of the vert

thx guys :D, i dont think the channel box is what im looking for. I guess i need a script that will give readings permanently and with every selection.

Just select your verts and give this a go (in the python tab):

Code:

import maya.cmds as mc



sel = mc.ls(sl = True)



for node in sel:

        vertPos = mc.xform(node, ws=True, q=True, t=True)

         print vertPos

maybe i wasnt specific enough :S. I need a HUD number reading that constantly updates with each selection. it'd be nice to also be able to turn this on and off.

this, makes all the vertices around the selected vertice move as well....now i need to know how to undo this TT

I am not a coding expert but I think you have to replace this part of the code;
ws=True, q=True, t=True

to ws=0, q=0, t=0
