vizact.goto/move using ABS instead of local

Is there any option to vizact.goto or vizact.move to have it use ABS coordinates? I know the documentation for move says it uses local coordinates, and from my testing it looks like goto does too.

Otherwise I supposed I'll just have to calculate the ABS coordinates myself before calling the goto?

Thanks.

No, the vizact.goto action does not have this option. You will need to compute the coordinates yourself and pass it to the action.

Is there a function in Vizard where I could take absolute coordinates x,y,z and it would calculate what the local coordinates would be for an object? My geometry is a little rusty and while I could probably work this out after a while, if Vizard had something that could do the calculations, that would be great.

Thanks.

Just have Vizard perform the calculation for you:
Code:
curPos = node.getPosition() #Save current position
node.setPosition(desiredPos,viz.ABS_GLOBAL) #Apply desired absolute pos
gotoPos = node.getPosition() #Get computed local pos
node.setPosition(curPos) #Restore position
