For some more information you may want to look at this blog post by User:Killzone_Kid: http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-gui-part-6/. > [!IMPORTANT] > The y and z values for the [vectorDir](../commands/vectorDir.md) ([direction](../topics/CT_OBJECT.md#direction) array) and [vectorUp](../commands/vectorUp.md) ([up](../topics/CT_OBJECT.md#up)) are switched. > > The control position can be defined with either 'position' property, which is an array or separate 'x', 'y' and 'z' properties, which are floats. If both are used, the former overrides the latter. #### Related commands & functions - Commands: General - Commands: UI Eventhandlers - Commands: Object #### Related User Interface Eventhandlers - [Events: General](../topics/User_Interface_Event_Handlers.md#generic-events) - [onObjectMoved](../topics/User_Interface_Event_Handlers.md#onobjectmoved) ### Alphabetical Order > [!NOTE] > TokenNames common to most controls, such as x, y, w, h, text, idc... can be found [**here**](../topics/Arma~3A_GUI_Configuration.md#common-properties). > [!WARNING] > Not all of the listed attributes might have an effect nor might the list be complete.
