Hi, does anyone know how to get the map coordinates of a unit? It would be like I could see his own GPS.

The getpos command returns the co-ordinates of an object.

To convert from coordinates to grid square there is a tute in the Ed Depot under References I think.

The problem of convering one to the other in-game has been solved, but I can't remember where the script is.   Anybody know?

or, use a marker

markername = marker1
soldier = dude

#find
marker1 setmarkerpos getpos dude
~3
goto "find"

i think thats the right syntax...
