Any way to get pet position?
 

Is there any way to get the pet position x/y/z?
I noticed UnitPosition does not work for pets.

I'd like to retrieve this to calculate distance from myself to get an idea of when it will despawn since pets despawn at ~100 yds.

UnitPosition now only works for yourself and party members outside of instances.

Pets aren't dismissed when they despwn so setting a flag when hooking Dismiss Pet, or action from its button(s), and hooking the OnHide of PetActionBar works when checking for despawn.

There is this function.

It might work for you outside of certain areas.

Looks like that doesn't work on the pet unit either. Oh well.

Thanks for the help guys I guess what i'm trying to do is just not possible.

If you just want to know approximately how far away your pet is, you can use IsItemInRange and IsSpellInRange.

That's how LibRangeCheck-2.0 works.
