Problem with mapGridPosition in checking backpack position

[frankforsyth 1]

Hello guys,

recently I came into problem with command mapGridPosition. It works perfectly when I'm checking other object like soldier, but when it checks backpack grid, I get weird numbers:

Backpack is in grid 128 141, but mapGridPosition says that it is 254 283

Just for making sure, here is code I'm running:

In init field of player:

this addAction ["Weapon plans location", "backpackGrid.sqf"];  

In backpackGrid.sqf

_backpackGrid = mapGridPosition weapon_plans;
hint format ["Weapon plans are at grid %1", _backpackGrid];

There is a problem with the returned position of backpacks. See: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=12827

Thanks. So I guess only thing to do is to wait until fixed.

What about something like this?

[color=#000000][color=#0000BB]
[/color][/color]_bp = createVehicle ["B_UAV_01_backpack_F", getPosATL player, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_backPackLoc = _bp modelToWorld [0,0,0];
_gridPos = mapGridPosition _backPackLoc;
hint format ["Weapon plans are at grid %1", _gridPos];
