[tim260]

im trying to output the position in the chatbox so i can copy it easy.

function coords() 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition( player ) 
-- attach the samsite to the elegy; 
outputChatBox ( "  ".. x .." ,  ".. y .." ,  ".. z .." " ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "coords", coords )

function coords(player) -- You forgot to put 'player' here  too. 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition( player ) 
-- attach the samsite to the elegy; 
outputChatBox ( "  ".. x .." ,  ".. y .." ,  ".. z .." " ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "coords", coords )

You're welcome.

In the rest of the functions you need convert value to string( tostring function ).

Not anymore, you can now do like:

outputChatBox(500) 

No need to convert number to string anymore.

Yes i said in function outputChatBox convert value to string.

But if you use guiCreateLabel and etc you need convert.
