How to get map's grid from object's position? For example: how to get "Fe 26" from [10987.8, 15092.8, 0.0017395].
<sqf>private _mapGridPosition = mapGridPosition player;</sqf>


= Solution =


'''[[mapGridPosition]]'''

{{Feature|informative|

}}


and before this command appeared, here is how it was found:
<sqf>local _mapGridPosition = player call BIS_fnc_posToGrid;</sqf>




Simgle small grid has size of 200*200. Moreover position [0,0,0] is somewhere in the middle of second big grid on Y axis. Fraction parts of coordinates and Z axis are also useless. So at the begining we have to adjust our position.

}}


<pre>_this = [floor ((_this select 0) / 200), floor (((_this select 1) + 520) / 200)]</pre>
<sqf>
private ["_gridSize", "_yOffset", "_xPos", "_yPos"]
private ["_letter1Index", "_letter2Index", "_letter1Choice", "_letter2Choice", "_letter1", "_letter2"]
private ["_numbers", "_mapGridPosition"]


The result is id of X and Y grids.
_gridSize = 200; // given grid squares are 200 × 200
_yOffset = -280; // position [0,0,0] is somewhere in the middle of second big grid on Y axis


* Getting X axis grid
_xPos = floor ((_this select 0) / _gridSize);
_yPos = floor (((_this select 1) + _yOffset) / _gridSize);


Notice that for marking X grids engine uses letters from A to J (ten symbols). So to get string id from numeric id we can simply exchange 0 on A, 1 on B etc.
_letter1Index = floor (_xPos / 10);
_letter2Index = floor (_xPos % 10);
_letter1Choice = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J"];
_letter2Choice = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"];
_letter1 = _letter1Choice select _letter1Index;
_letter2 = _letter2Choice select _letter2Index;


<pre>?_t == 0: _str = _str + "A"
_numbers = 100 - _yPos; // coordinate numbers start from top-left of the map
?_t == 1: _str = _str + "B"
?_t == 2: _str = _str + "C"
?_t == 3: _str = _str + "D"
?_t == 4: _str = _str + "E"
?_t == 5: _str = _str + "F"
?_t == 6: _str = _str + "G"
?_t == 7: _str = _str + "H"
?_t == 8: _str = _str + "I"
?_t == 9: _str = _str + "J"</pre>


First number is exact division of X grid id by ten:
_mapGridPosition = format ["%1%2%3", _letter1, _letter2, _numbers];
</sqf>


<pre>_t = floor ((this select 0) / 10)</pre>


Second number is then remainder of the division of X grid id by ten
{{ArgTitle|2|{{ofp}}|{{GVI|ofp|1.00}}}}


<pre>_t = (this select 0) mod 10</pre>
<sqs>
private ["_gridSize", "_yOffset", "_xPos", "_yPos"]
private ["_letter1Index", "_letter2Index", "_letter1Choice", "_letter2Choice", "_letter1", "_letter2"]
private ["_numbers", "_mapGridPosition"]


* Getting Y axis grind
; given grid squares are 200 × 200
_gridSize = 200


Notice that the begining of coordinate system is in SE corner of map but counting Y grid begins from NE corner. So proper Y grid is substraction beetwen grinds count (100) and actual grid id.
; position [0,0,0] is somewhere in the middle of second big grid on Y axis
_yOffset = -280


<pre>_y = 100 - (_this select 1)</pre>
_xPos = (_this select 0) / _gridSize
_yPos = ((_this select 1) + _yOffset) / _gridSize
_xPos = _xPos - (_xPos mod 1)
_yPos = _yPos - (_yPos mod 1)


= Implementations =
_letter1Index = _xPos / 10
_letter2Index = _xPos % 10
_letter1Index = _letter1Index - (_letter1Index mod 1)
_letter2Index = _letter2Index - (_letter2Index mod 1)
_letter1Choice = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J"]
_letter2Choice = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"]
_letter1 = _letter1Choice select _letter1Index
_letter2 = _letter2Choice select _letter2Index


* SQS Script
; coordinate numbers start from top-left of the map
_numbers = 100 - _yPos


Arguments: [[Position]]
_mapGridPosition = format ["%1%2%3", _letter1, _letter2, _numbers]
</sqs>


<pre>_this = [floor ((_this select 0) / 200), floor (((_this select 1) - 280) / 200)]
