Demellion: To acomplish getting the altitude of a marker you can do workaround using setMarkerDir as it accepts any number (above 360 or below -360): "Marker" setMarkerPos [200,200]; "Marker" setMarkerDir 1640; After, setting player position as an example: player setPosASL [(getMarkerPos "Marker") select 0, (getMarkerPos "Marker") select 1,(markerDir "Marker")]
