How to display group ou unit coordinates.

[clanitho]

Hi guys,

I would like to be able to display a message in a mission, giving me the MGRS and/or  Lat/Long coordinates of a group or unit when my aircraft flies over an area.
I know how to manage triggers for flying over the area but I have no idea how to get and display target coordinates, does anyone have an example of a mission that would meet my needs?

 

ps: I don't want to use a Jtac.

Thanks in advance.

Here is an example. The function used requires MIST to be loaded at mission start. Player's Hornet is directly "on zone" (on the ground) at start and can display coordinates of a group named "Target" using F10 radiomenu.

Edit : if you want to clean up the radiomenu, use this script in a trigger : missionCommands.removeItem({'Target information'})

Thank you, exactly what I wanted.
