            local camx, camy, camz = getCameraPosition( source )        -- Get the cameras position
            outputConsole( camx .. " " .. camy .. " " .. camz, source ) -- And output it.
      else
            outputConsole( "The camera is not fixed", source )          -- If not, say so.
      end
end
