Grid to Pos?

[MrZig 0]

Hello. Would someone be able to reverse the Pos-To-Grid function and give me a Grid-To-Pos (center of the grid)? This would be invaluable and essential to my IAI.

Thanks!

www.mapfact.net addon MAP_Misc_1.02.rar has a function script included called fString2Pos.sqf which converts grid coordinates (e.g. "Gh58") to 2D position arrays. See the addon's included MAP_Misc_ReadMe.html file for futher usage detaiils. Try that.

Converts a Position in String format into a 2D numerical Position

Example: _Pos = "Da64" call fString2Pos
