Starting position

[vtx]

At the start of the game the position of player is allways 0,0 on the map or is there some case it's different ?

Also performant wise question :

Did it require the same time to access player.position.x than set it as variable at start of the function x = player.position.x when I need to check multiple time that value inside my function?

Unless a mod/scenario script changes it starting is always 0,0 But why take chances, there is an api for that

It would be quicker to set x as a local variable inside your function. (local x = player.position.x)
