About

PrintActorLocation outputs the location coordinates of any actor in the world, creature, structure, item, or other entity, when you provide its actor ID. The command returns the result to the console.

This is useful when you need to find where a particular entity is positioned on the map, especially if it is not visible on screen or you need precise coordinates for scripting, teleportation, or removal. You must know the actor ID beforehand; if you do not, other tools or commands may be required to locate it first.
