Noob question (getElementPosition to outputChatBox)

[Boris_Nemtsov]

Hi.

I'm making a script that displays my coordinates in the chatbox, but it's not working.

Here's my script:

function getPos() 
    outputChatBox(getElementPosition(theplayer), source) 
end 
addCommandHandler("getpos", getPos)

function getPos(theplayer) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( theplayer )  
    outputChatBox(x..", "..y.. ", "..z, theplayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("getpos", getPos)

Damn it. The script you provided also doesn't work.

Nothing happens when I write "getpos" in my console or do /getpos in the chat.

Did you set it to server side in meta.xml?

addCommandHandler("getpos",  
function ()  
      outputChatBox( string.format( 'Position: %s, %s, %s', getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) ) ) 
end 
)

No, I set it to client. Is that okay?

  
addCommandHandler("getpos",  
function ()  
      outputChatBox( string.format( 'Position: %s, %s, %s', getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) ) ) 
end 
) 
  

Wow!

That works!

Thanks

It works but it's server sided.
