The script saves the classname in the clipboard

so you can paste it in your script with Ctrl + V :)

Exactly for this I was looking since ages. Thanks alot! :)

[Cyborg11 10]

Nice work, thanks!

Yes, very nice indeed!

Hi,

Since you are now using formated text I would suggest for your next version to add pictures of the weapons/vehicles in the hints. It would be the icing on the cake.

Keep on the good work

Do you mean something like this? :D

The pictures were only shown on infantry weapons ;)

Just a suggestion, might be nice if also grid number was shown together with position, like:

Position: [3427.26,3573.94,0] @ grid 113046.

That way we can collect a lot of interresting positions, paste them into wherever we want while we have the map open to verify grid is actually matching the position. With lots of positions in, it's easy to loose track on which target town was located where, if you know what I mean.

X_fnc_PosToGrid = {
/*
File: PosToGrid.sqf
Author: Karel Moricky

Description:
Converts array position to map grid position.

Parameter(s):
_this: Object, Array in format position or String with marker name

Returns:
Array in format ["X","Y"]
*/
private ["_x","_y","_xgrid","_ygrid","_xcoord","_ycoord","_result"];

_x = -1;
_y = -1;

switch (typename _this) do
{
//--- Coordinates
case "ARRAY": {
	_x = _this select 0;
	_y = _this select 1;
};
//--- Unit
case "OBJECT": {
	_x = position _this select 0;
	_y = position _this select 1;
};
//--- Marker
case "STRING": {
	_x = markerpos _this select 0;
	_y = markerpos _this select 1;
};
default {
	if (true) exitwith {hintc format ["Bad input in ""PosToGrid.sqf"" - %1.",typename _this]};
};
};

_xgrid = floor (_x / 100);
_ygrid = floor ((15360 - _y) / 100);

_xcoord =
if (_xgrid >= 100) then {
	str _xgrid;
} else {
	if (_xgrid >= 10) then {
		"0" + str _xgrid;
	} else {
		"00" + str _xgrid;
	};
};

_ycoord =
if (_ygrid >= 100) then {
	str _ygrid;
} else {
	if (_ygrid >= 10) then {
		"0" + str _ygrid;
	} else {
		"00" + str _ygrid;
	};
};

_result = [_xcoord,_ycoord];
_result;
};

Then:

_grid = "";

_grid = format ["Grid: %1%2!", (_pos call X_fnc_PosToGrid) select 0, (_pos call X_fnc_PosToGrid) select 1];

or instead you could use the mapGridPosition command :) And really nice work on this one, its a really handy tool.

This can be very useful. Thx Cyborg11!

Put it on our scripts section at Assault Mission Studio.

Gorgeous !!!

PS: I might be (certainly is) overboard here but isn't there also a picture for the infantry/crew units?

Yes an empty picture :D

picture = "\Ca\characters\data\Ico\i_null_CA.paa";

Dunno where the commanding pictures of the units are located :(

[celery 8]

Is the coordinate done with getPos or getPosATL?

[Cyborg11 10]

getPos.

But changed it to getPosATL now :)

Lol, holy cow! Never seen this one before. I've been asking for this one for a long time. It's a dream come true actually. Even works nicely with addon to invert y axis.

LOVE YOU BIS :D

Just thought of something. Turret paths might be useful to some.

[Cyborg11 10]

What is the turretpath? A number? Or the exact path to the turret?

If I i.e. wanted to move a gunner to a certain turret in a vehicle, I would like to know the different possibilities instead of trial and error.
