If you mean getting single cordinates of and object you must use the getword() function

If you mean getting the 2d cordinate of the unit on the gui I cant help

GetWord(text string, index);
%string = SetWord(text string, index,substitute value);

It would go a bit like this
for y coordinate
// Get objects position
%pos = %player.getPosition();

// Y is second in the list
%y = getword(%pos,2);

// Change coordinate
%y=%y + 5;

setword(%pos,2,%y);

%x = getword(%pos,1);
%y = getword(%pos,2);
%z = getword(%pos,3);
