I try to get along with the coordinates.
When i run
local x, y, z = player:getPosition()
i get positions, which are different to the shown coordinate position on the minimap.
For teleporting i need the correct coordinates from the minimap, not the ones from player:getPosition() ...
How can i transform them?

Hello, maybe your problem is already solved, but maybe someone else will find something for themselves here. I suggest playing with a simple script I wrote to make friends with coordinates on the map.

<lua_code>

-- For better orientation in the code, all proper names such as names of variables, functions, etc. start with the phrase "DeMv_" lub "deMv_".

deMv_playerPos = {
x = nil, -- X-axis (horizontal)
y = nil, -- Y-axis (vertical, i.e. height)
z = nil -- Z-axis (vertical)
}

addModEventListener(deMv_playerPos);

function deMv_playerPos:update(dt)
local deMv_player = nil;
if g_currentMission.player ~= nil then
deMv_player = g_currentMission.player.rootNode; -- player is outside the vehicle (on foot)
end;
if g_currentMission.controlledVehicle ~= nil then
deMv_player = g_currentMission.controlledVehicle.rootNode; -- the player is in a vehicle
end;
if deMv_player ~= nil then
local bX, bY, bZ = getWorldTranslation(deMv_player);
self.x = math.ceil(bX);
self.y = math.ceil(bY);
self.z = math.ceil(bZ);
end;
end

function deMv_playerPos:draw()
g_currentMission:addExtraPrintText("Player position on the Map: "..self.x.." "..self.y.." "..self.z);
end

</lua_code>

Of course we don't paste these two lines from "lua_code" ;)

Best regards :)
