Detect cursor coordinates.

[Fruit Forest]

Is it possible to detect the mouse cursor coordiantes?

 

[DracoL1ch]

if you're oriented on latest patch? no

You can use trackables for that.

trackables disable right clicking at the point, effectively breaking wc3's behavior

But depending on the situation, trackables may or may not be the solution.

But we need moar context

No it is not possible in Warcraft III.

Best you can do is detect when the cursor is targeting something like a trackable and translate from that to map coordinate and then using the player's current camera position translate to screen coodinates. Since both trackables and camera coordinates are subject to network latency, the results will have considerable delay. Camera translation might also be imperfect and result in considerable inaccuracies in the screen space result.

Are camera position coordinates for each player be different? Because then I saw the current camera position it doesn't offer me to choose of which player the camera view must be.

One can synchronize the value I am guessing. People have used it before for systems but I do not know the exact details.
