Envrioment:	Mission Scripting

Function:	getDispatcherTowerPos	Added with: 2.9.6

Member Of:	Airbase
Syntax:	table Airbase.getDispatcherTowerPos(Class Self )
Description:	Returns a table of vec3 objects corresponding to the passed value. Seems to only ever return a single object "Tower" object. Have been unable to get it to work with other types.

Return Value:	table
Return Example:	{ ["pos"] = { ["y"] = 30.01003074646, ["x"] = 11039.798828125, ["z"] = 367775.40625, }, }

Examples:	Adds the vec3 position of every tower belonging to a blue airbase to a list. local ab = coalition.getAirbases(2) local everyBlueTowerLocation = {} for i = 1 , #ab do table.insert(everyBlueTowerLocation, Airbase.getDispatcherTowerPos(ab[i])) end
Related Functions:	Airbase Functions: getCallsign, getUnit, getID, getCategoryEx, getParking, getRunways, getTechObjectPos, getDispatcherTowerPos, getRadioSilentMode, setRadioSilentMode, autoCapture, autoCaptureIsOn, setCoalition, getWarehouse,
Notes:	From DCS 2.7.0 to 2.9.6 this function was Airbase.getTechObjectPos. That function was effectively removed and renamed to getDispatchTowerPos. The required "towers" parameter was also removed.
