x	real	The x-coordinate of the start location.
y	real	The y-coordinate of the start location.

comment

Defines a player's start location at the specified coordinates. The start location determines where the camera is initially positioned. For melee maps, it will also determine where the player's first town hall structure will be placed.

note

This function shall only be used within the scope of function config in war3map.j, it is executed by the game when you load the lobby/selected the map for preview. Using it elsewhere will affect the returned values of GetStartLocationX and GetStartLocationY, but will have no effect on the camera's initial position and the melee starting positions.
