- Description:
- Returns a list of nearest objects of the given types to the given position or object, within the specified distance.
position can use the format:
[[x,y,z], ["ClassName",...], radius]
or
[object, ["ClassName",...], radius]
To use it without any ClassName filter:[object or position, [], radius].
A list of ClassName types (Tanks eg) can be found in CfgVehiclesIf more than one object is found they will be ordered according to their distance (i.e. the closest one will be first in the array).
Syntax

To get a list with alive targets for various situations use this construct:
_nearestTargets = nearestObjects [_submunScanPos, ["VBS2_TANK","TANK"], _scanArea]; _validNearestTargets = []; {if (alive _x) then {_validNearestTargets set [(count _validNearestTargets),_x];};} foreach _nearestTargets;results in _validNearestTargets being filled with targets == alive .. (you could use other conditions there, of course!) -- Vigilante

- Passing an empty array to define the types will also return objects with no class at all (such as trees, bushes, stones, ...).
Example:
_objects = nearestObjects [_position, [], _radius];Passing the array ["All"] is not the same and will only return objects that have some sort of class.
