Finding Boss Coordinates
 
Is there any specific way to find boss coordinates of a known unitId or unitTag? I note there is the function GetUnitWorldPosition(unitTag) but reporting from this returns 0 in both x and y when used with the tag 'boss1' or 'boss2'. I'm trying to make an addon that tells people where a certain boss teleports to so they are more quickly able to react.

Anyone else encountered an issue like this? Would putting in the unitId work instead?

I see this question is being asked frequently lately, people want to highlight hidden players, point arrows at bosses and other stuff :D Luckily it's only possible to get group members coordinates and your pets. Maybe should add it to docs/wiki.

Don't get me wrong but: Even more easy mode in an easy mode game?
You guys want to have everything automated instead of "enjoying" it's not a run through "everywhere". Most dungeons are a run through already, the bosses say and yell and show with visual effects + red circles etc. what happens.
Where is the spirit of "exploration", "try and error", or is it all about this stupid virtual loot...

I'd enjoy there is a difficulty as long as it lasts. A lot ppl already scream it's too hard. They should go and play other games then if they want to enjoy a 1, 2, 1, 2 game experience to get from 0 to 100 at once.

No one's forcing you to download the addon

Thanks much for the help! The addon was intended to track the four corner position Llothis ports to in a vAS+1 or +2, he wanted to solo interrupt as OT so it'd help him. Doesn't seem like there's really a way, but thank you so much!
