Note: You may have multiple INGAME tabs. If so, go through each one and scroll down to see their name

CONGRATULATION YOU FOUND YOUR TARGET

There two ways of approaching this:

1. With the XYZ cords you can manually and try to triangulate them in-game, using the Shift - F12, the in-game editor, to get the relative position.

2. More easier, just teleport to them which soon be explained
If deciding to chose this option i recommend doing on another save, encase of something jank occurs.

1. While in the FCS go to Open Any Navigate to your save file. > Platoon > Nameless_0. This is where your active player is.
Note: Even if you chance the party's name, it would still be name Nameless_0.

2. As before go to Change > COLLECTION_INSTANCE > INGAME. While looking through INGAME look for the person you want to be teleported. In this example its Beep.

3. Replace your character XYZ to your target's XYZ. Exit and Save

CONGRATULATION YOUR AT YOUR TARGET

This is my first guide made. Most of my information i got from was Save Editing 101. check it out if you want to learn more. Also I don't know much of the finer detail of game. Most of this come from pure observation and tinkering. After all, this guide is just finding a name in a game file, and tinkering with numbers. Hope this helps!
