Coordinates

[Tails]

Hi, I was wondering if there is quick way to fetch coordinates from your ingame ped position? Like print them to the console for example.

Thanks in advance.

No, but you can make one within seconds.

Functions you need:

addCommandHandler 
getElementPosition 
outputChatBox

Yeah, I figured I could Let's see if I can if not I'll come back here and ask for help

Sorry, am lost once again.

function getCoord() 
 local x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
 outputChatbox("Coordinates: " .. getElementPosition(thePlayer) .."", getRootElement(), 255,0,255, true) 
 end 
 addCommandHandler("coord", getCoord) 

function getCoord() 
 local x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
 outputChatbox("Coordinates:", getRootElement(), 255,0,255, true, x, y, z) 
 end 
 addCommandHandler("coord", getCoord)

function getCoord(thePlayer) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
outputChatBox("Coordinates:".." X"..x.." Y"..y.." Z"..z, getRootElement(), 255,0,255, true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("coord", getCoord)

Well, first you must define 'thePlayer' in the function name, second you must define the x, y, z variables, like this:

local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 

And then output it to the player who used the command.

@UAEpro: You didn't define 'thePlayer', also, is outputChatBox, not outputChatbox.

outputChatbox 

should be

outputChatBox

thanks .. i just fixed it to show the position without looking to the function my fault

Ah, I noticed I forgot the capital since it wasn't outputting anything at all. And wow. Thank you all! The script just makes so much sense now.

You're welcome.
