Syntax

Syntax:
position object
Parameters:
object: Object
Return Value:
Array format PositionAGLS

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:
position location
Parameters:
location: Location
Return Value:

⚠
This position is the location's position regardless of attachObject usage - see Example 3.

Examples

Example 1:
private _pos = position player;
Example 2:
_myLocationHomePos = position myLocation;
Example 3:
private _location = createLocation ["b_inf", [1000, 1000], 1, 1]; _location attachObject player; locationPosition _location; // [1916.03,5711.98,12.208] getPos _location; // [1916.03,5711.98,12.208] position _location; // [1000,1000,0]
