Display Grid Number

[The-Architect]

I have a shot down pilot and I want to have updates on his position displayed via radio message. How do I go about this?

[bored_onion]

theres a really cool function which will return the grid co-ordinates of a unit

i think that should be what you're after - unless you need to know how to format it into the sidechat, but i think you probably know that already.

That works fine for the player but when I tried it for a guy called pilot it didn't return anything. What do I do to make it work?

[bored_onion]

what was the syntax you were using to call the function?

[The-Architect]

player groupChat format ["%1", [getPos player] call Gridcoord] is the bones of it. I changed the player bits to Pilot.

[bored_onion]

including to "pilot groupchat etc"?

cant think why else it would be doing it...

try doing it in a script and passing the position of the pilot as a variable

Talk about a blond moment. You got it right, I was telling the pilot to tell his group where he was. Thanks for your help.
