Note that this command returns the position in AGLS format (Z is measured from the nearest surface below). For example the value of Z is 0 even if the object is resting on top of a building.
For use with draw commands, such as drawIcon3D, an AGL position is needed. The following alternatives can be used, depending on where the icon is intended to be shown:ASLtoAGL getPosWorld _object // object center in model coordinates, i.e [0,0,0] ASLtoAGL getPosASL _object // object land contact (e.g. floor of a building) unitAimPositionVisual _object // object's aiming position, i.e where the AI aim at, such as a soldier's chest
