## Community notes

**Sa-Matra** — 2023-04-30

This command (along with [unitAimPosition](../commands/unitAimPosition.md) and [aimPos](../commands/aimPos.md)) is unreliable when entity has [objectParent](../commands/objectParent.md), it can return its last position in the world in case of static weapon packed into backpack, or can return very outdated (lagging behind) position or even [0,0,0] on remote units inside vehicles. Be careful when using it!
