Envrioment: Mission Scripting
Function: getDispatcherTowerPos Added with: 2.9.6
Member Of: Airbase
Syntax: table Airbase.getDispatcherTowerPos(Class Self , number/string ObjectType )
Description: Returns a table of vec3 objects corresponding to the passed value. Seems to only ever return a single object "Tower" object. Have been unable to get it to work with other types.


Return Value: table
Return Example: { ["pos"] = { ["y"] = 30.01003074646, ["x"] = 11039.798828125, ["z"] = 367775.40625, }, }
Examples: Adds the vec3 position of every tower belonging to a blue airbase to a list.
  local ab = coalition.getAirbases(2)
  local everyBlueTowerLocation = {}
  for i = 1 , #ab do
      table.insert(everyBlueTowerLocation, Airbase.getDispatchTowerPos(ab[i], "towers"))
  end

Notes: From DCS 2.7.0 to 2.9.6 this function was Airbase.getTechObjectPos. That function was effectively removed and renamed to getDispatchTowerPos
