Player Position to Clipboard

[Nephris1 10]

Hi folks,

a few days ago i browsed the forum and read about a function, that allows to copy the players position to clipboard.

But i cant find the post anymore, as i think it was made by one of the devs.

Can u give me hand by this plz.

I think this is a very handy function .... if u know how to deal with it:

_myPos = getPos player;
_textPos = format ["%1", _myPos];
hint _textPos;
copyToClipboard _textPos;

I got some trouble with the coordinates,copied to clipboard.

I receive this coordinates [1815.64,11864.4,0.000701904]

I changed the 2nd coordinate for the height [1815.64,0.000701904,11864.4]

When i now check my position in the mission.sqm i get this coordinates

[1825.9695,149.65237,11856.363]

Seems like the script dont get the height coordinate.

Or am i wrong anywhere?

The problem may be that getPos returns height above the terrain level at that location, but the mission.sqm uses the height above sea level - getPosASL.

Just a guess, though.
