Description

Description:
Returns position in model space and returns its relative position. Searches first in memory level, then in geometry LODs.
In Arma it returns the initial position of the selection, in Arma 2/Arma 3 position of the selection (e.g. when it is animated) in render time scope. If a selection does not exist [0,0,0] is returned.
Groups:
Object ManipulationRender Time Scope

Syntax

Syntax:
object selectionPosition selectionName
Parameters:
object: Object
selectionName: String
Return Value:
Array - relative position in model space. If selection does not exist, [0, 0, 0] is returned.

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:
object selectionPosition [selectionName, LODName] Template:Since
Parameters:
object: Object
[selectionName, LODName]: Array
selectionName: String
LODName: String - LOD name, one of the following:
  • "Memory"
  • "Geometry"
  • "FireGeometry"
  • "LandContact"
  • "HitPoints"
Return Value:
Array - relative position in model space. If selection does not exist, [0, 0, 0] is returned.

Examples

Example 1:
_inModelPosition = player selectionPosition "head_hit";
Example 2:
_inModelPosition = player selectionPosition "pelvis";
Example 3:
_inModelPosition = player selectionPosition "head";
Example 4:
_inModelPosition = player selectionPosition "camera";

Do use the filter that comes with Alt Syntax to suit your needs. For example player has 3 selections called "head" and their selectionPositions are quite different from each other: player selectionPosition ["head", "Memory"]; // [0.173798,0.330415,1.37783] player selectionPosition ["head", "FireGeometry"]; // [0.14375,0.206039,1.44689] player selectionPosition ["head", "HitPoints"]; // [0.144257,0.306769,1.53471]
