GetPlayerMapPosition -Documentation by Meog-


Returns the postion of a unit on the current map

posX, posY = GetPlayerMapPosition("unit");

Arguments
("unit")
unit
String - The UnitId for which the position is returned. (Does not work with all unit types. Works with player, partyN or raidN as unit type. This was to disable range-checking mods).

Returns
posX, posY
posX
Number - X value of the unit position (a proportion between 0 and 1, relative to WorldMapDetailFrame)
posY
Number - Y value of the unit position (a proportion between 0 and 1, relative to WorldMapDetailFrame)

If both posX and posY are 0, then the position is unknown, unknowable, or not valid for the current map.


Example
local posX, posY = GetPlayerMapPosition("player");

Result
0.43320921063423, 0.69365233182907
