Map control not positioned correctly using ctrlCreate

[Kingsley1997 39]

I'm creating a map control using ctrlCreate but it's not positioning correctly, at least not visually. The orange box is a static background control with the same position the map control is given. So the position is correct, but the map doesn't work with it :S

This in particular is interesting. It's technically positioned correctly, but not the image...

Could be caused by the fact that maps cannot be in controls groups. Engine treats them a bit differently because of how complex they are.

Omitting the control group param in ctrlCreate still produces the same problem.

And since the map is not in controls group, you need to position it in screen coordinates, not in local positions relative to group's left corner.

Are there any commands to convert a controls relative position to its group to screen coordinates?

I got it working!

_position set [0, (_position select 0) + (_controlGroupPos select 0)];

_position set [1, (_position select 1) + (_controlGroupPos select 1)];

_position set [3, (_position select 2)];

_ctrlMap ctrlSetPosition _position;

Thanks for the help :D
