&gt; Coo... my first post after being a lurker here for quite a while :)
&gt; 
&gt; I'm after a formula for producing a single unique number, given any
&gt; combination
&gt; of 3 large other numbers (all unsigned long integers) - those being X,Y &amp; Z
&gt; grid
&gt; coordinates. I can do this easily using just X &amp; Y, and given defined
&gt; WORLD_WIDTH
&gt; &amp; WORLD_HEIGHT values, but the extra Z coordinate has got me stumped.
&gt; 
&gt; Apologies if i've not explained this very well, and thanks in advance for
&gt; any
&gt; suggestions if I have. :)

I unless I mis-understand, you cannot do this.  You must have as many bits
(information) in your result as in your input(s) if you want a one-to-one
mapping.  

I don't think that is what you want however, so please re-word your
question..let us know what you are really trying to do.
