Examples
- Example 1:
hintSilent str getPos player;- Example 2:
- getPos vs. other methods (over sea)
diag_log getPos ship; // [2412.01, 6036.33, -0.839965] diag_log getPosATL ship; // [2412.01, 6036.33, 19.4266] diag_log getPosASL ship; // [2412.01, 6036.33, -0.920066] diag_log getPosASLW ship; // [2412.01, 6036.33, -0.865981] diag_log visiblePosition ship; // [2412.02, 6036.33, -0.837952] diag_log visiblePositionASL ship; // [2412.02, 6036.33, -0.91798] diag_log position ship; // [2412.01, 6036.33, -0.839965] - Example 3:
- getPos vs. other methods (over land)
diag_log getPos car; // [2508.64, 5681.47, 0.0609589] diag_log getPosATL car; // [2508.64, 5681.47, 0.0356369] diag_log getPosASL car; // [2508.64, 5681.47, 71.718] diag_log getPosASLW car; // [2508.64, 5681.47, 71.718] diag_log visiblePosition car; // [2508.64, 5681.47, 0.0609512] diag_log visiblePositionASL car; // [2508.64, 5681.47, 71.718] diag_log position car; // [2508.64, 5681.47, 0.0609589] - Example 4:
- Find position 100 metres and 45 degrees from player position:
player getPos [100, 45];

getPos obj select 2might return the vertical position above ground level, but for a stacked object, it returns the vertical position above the object beneath it. The same problem exists for getPosASL. There was a discussion thread in the BIS forums which suggested the use of the command modelToWorld instead to get around this issue where an absolute vertical position is required.
