WoW:API GetPlayerMapPosition

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. This usually happens inside an instance, if the map hasn't been updated (by either opening the map or using SetMapToCurrentZone) after entering a new zone, or using a UnitId other than the ones above.

Example

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

Result

0.43320921063423, 0.69365233182907
