Position ${ "def.position" }in markersAliveNormal.xc

[Catch21]

Hi,

 

This shows 'position' in line 233 of markersAliveNormal.xc above enemy (only) vehicles. It seems to be some sequencing of the enemy (ability?) but I can't find any documentation on it (not in macros.txt). Shows as line: 

 

format": "<font size='{{battletype?13|0}}'>{{position}}</font>"  //  формат текста. См. описание макросов в macros.txt

 

If nayone knows of any documentation or what it does, appreciated. Pic:

It indicates the initial position of a player on the list.

Dear Catch21,

 

Kontrad509 is right as always, the slightly longer answer is:

 

You were very close, if you have a look in res_mods/mods/shared_resources/xvm/doc/macros.txt you will on line 51 see:

 

Personal macros (applied for player)
┌───┬────────────────────┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬─────────────────────────────────────────
│SDH│ macro              │ BL│ PP│ SF│ MM│ VM│ HI│BLb│ Description

│ H │ {{position}}       │ X │ X │ X │ X │ X │ X │   │ position of the player in the beginning of the battle (1-15)

Thanks very much for this and reference, I was looking at an older version of macros.txt.

 

Since #s are 1-15 this did occur to me, but only for at start line up. #s stay the same per tank throughout battle, no matter the tank line up from players panel changes as machines get destroyed. Just wondering what the practical usage of this is/could be?

 

(of course if you're specifically after one particular driver, it might help you focus on their tank throughout the battle),
