To Know X Y Coordinates on the map

[bohemi 10]

How can I know X & Y coordinates of an unit on the map?. I need it for

using command SetPos. Example: Player setpos [2000, 3000, 0]; I Know that

0 means the height in meters. But how can I find a specific position _IN

NUMBERS_ (2000, 3000) on the map? Thanks any comment.

If you mean grid coordinate on map?

nikiller's script will work.

But how about a trick I picked up awhile ago...

open up the mission.sqm

and look for:

position[]={7263.946777,167.826767,7952.774902};

in order to find position - you need to "swap out" 2nd and 3rd positions in array...

Player setpos [7263.946777,7952.774902,167.826767]

by using this method you could drop objects in editor - then retrieve their exact positions from mission.sqm - and add to script or trigger....
