# Player context

Functions for working with player and entity positions.

## `get_selected_player()` → integer

Returns the index (`0`–`31`) of the player currently selected in the **Player Options** menu. The value is read live at call time so scripts always see the current selection.

```lua
local sp = get_selected_player()
local targetPed = GET_PLAYER_PED(sp)
SET_ENTITY_HEALTH(targetPed, 0, 0)
```

## `get_position([entity])` → x, y, z

Returns the world coordinates of an entity as three numbers. If no entity is given, defaults to your own ped.

| Param    | Type    | Description                                               |
| -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `entity` | integer | *(optional)* Entity handle. Defaults to local player ped. |

```lua
-- Your position
local x, y, z = get_position()

-- A target player's position
local tx, ty, tz = get_position(GET_PLAYER_PED(get_selected_player()))

-- Teleport to a saved location
local savedX, savedY, savedZ = 100.0, 200.0, 50.0
local px, py, pz = get_position()
if math.sqrt((px-savedX)^2 + (py-savedY)^2) > 10 then
    SET_ENTITY_COORDS(PLAYER_PED_ID(), savedX, savedY, savedZ, 0, 0, 0, 0)
end
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xeutrino.com/api-reference/player.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
