BlzGetLocalUnitZ

Parameters

whichUnit

unit

async

This function is asynchronous. The values it returns are not guaranteed to be the same for each player. If you attempt to use it in an synchronous manner it may cause a desync.

comment

Return unit's (altitude) Z map coordinate (Cartesian System). Unit may be alive or dead.

Returns 0.0 if unit was removed or is null.

Retrieving Z is desync prone, this version might cause desyncs, but (unconfirmed) should be faster than BlzGetUnitZ, hence why both exist. In case that you are doing a single player map (campaign), you might decide to use this one instead of BlzGetUnitZ.

note

Terrain height is not synced between clients in multiplayer.

note

Since unit extends from widget, you can use widget-related functions too. See: BlzGetUnitZ, GetUnitX, GetUnitY, GetWidgetX, GetWidgetY.
