Enemy Player Coordinates

[Resike]

I need a method to get the current flag carrier coordinates in WSG and TP, i dont need it all the time only when a specified "CHAT_MSG_BG_SYSTEM_ALLIANCE" or "CHAT_MSG_BG_SYSTEM_HORDE" event occours. I'm not sure the "GetPlayerMapPosition()" works on enemy players too or not.
If anyone who has a good idea for such a function (or know such a function) i would appreciate it.

I don't believe you can get this information from the API. It would make stealthing and other such mechanics obsolete.

The coordinates of the flag carrier are available, they put an icon for them on the map.

The function is GetBattlefieldFlagPosition, and you call it on an index between 1 and GetNumBattlefieldFlagPositions().

It returns x, y and part of the texture path of the flag.

They're limited to 10 decimals due to the type of variable used to store the information. Otherwise they could go higher, then my addon to calculate the quantum state of player's would be possible

These mechanics make the player drop the flag anyway last I checked.

I never PvP, so had no idea.

Anyway i was making a custom event with custom PlaySoundFile when you killed an enemy flag carrier in their flag room while your team didn't picked up the enemy flag, called "LastSecondSave". And i think i succeeded.
