|desc= Returns a vec3 table of the x, y, and z coordinates for the position of the given object in 3D space. Coordinates are dependent on the position of the maps origin. In the case of the Caucuses theater, the origin is located in the Crimean region of the map.

Function also works with [[DCS_Class_Unit|Unit]], [[DCS_Class_Weapon|Weapon]], [[DCS_Class_Static_Object|Static Object]], [[DCS_Class_Scenery_Object|Scenery Object]], [[DCS_Class_Airbase|Airbase]]
