Description
- Description:
- Translates relative position from object model space to world space in PositionAGL format.
This command will take into account vectorUp of the object when calculating relative coordinates. For the PositionASL version of this command, see modelToWorldWorld. - Groups:

- Parameters:
- model: Object
- position: Array format PositionRelative - [x,y,z] offset relative to the model centre

The worldPos parameter appears to be a relative offset to the position of object, so it can often simply be [0,0,0].
Example: to position an object _obj relative to the position of another object _relObj with on offset of _offset, try:
- Posted on Jul 24, 2007 - 17:45 (UTC)
- The object model space has got its Z-Axis along the object's vectorUp, its Y-Axis along the object's vectorDir, while its X-Axis goes along vectorDir x VectorUp (meaning as the X-Axis in a right-handed cartesian coordiante system).
- Posted on May 08, 2008 - 08:05 (UTC)
- If your object requires a new direction, ensure you call setDir prior to setPosATL when using modelToWorld. Calling setDir afterwards will skew its position otherwise.

-
The z height returned changes dynamically with the height of waves beneath the object, if the object is located over sea.
The z height returned by getPosATL and getPosASL does not change like this.
This was tested by continuously retrieving the position of a static object, like the cross in the empty/corpses category, placed over sea or land.
modelToWorld behaves similar to getPos but it does not give the same result, therefore
is not the same as_obj modelToWorld [0.0, 0.0, 0.0].getPos _obj;
