Is it possible to make a unit to say where he is?

In grid coordinates, or in the XYZ coordinates you get with getpos? Either way is possible :) .

Instead of answering with a question which the one asking will be looking at next time around, answer with both ways of doing it.

The best way is to use Softeggs script: here
If you use it as a separate script, you'll have to execute it as follows:
[getPos unitName select 0,getPos unitName select 1] exec "position_softegg.sqs"
and modify the line:
hint format ["%1%2", _xcoor, _ycoor]
to:
unitName sideChat format ["%1%2", _xcoor, _ycoor]
Optionally you can pass another element to the script so you can use that for multiple units. But I'll leave that up to you to ask  :)

And the 2nd way was already covered partially:
unitName sideChat format ["I'm at %1%2",getPos unitName select 0,getPos unitName select 1]
but I doubt that's of much use.

There's gooks over there, there's mines over there, and watch out those goddamn monkeys talk, I'll bite ya.
