Description

Description:

Returns all objects of the given type that are currently present in the mission. In some cases, the entities command is a much faster alternative to this command.
Some of the special types that can be detected with this command (and with nearestObject):

"" - returns everything, e.g. agents, bees, mosquitoes, footprints, armed mines, ...
"all" - more restrictive than "": no ambient insects, only agents such as rabbits and snakes, no footprints, tracks, no armed mines
"#slop" - blood drops
"#mark" - unit footprints
"#track" - vehicle tracks
"#crater" - explosion craters on the ground
"#crateronvehicle" - bullet marks on vehicles
"#explosion" - explosions
"#objectdestructed" - building, tree or bush destruction
"#soundonvehicle" - sounds created with say3D for example
"#dynamicsound" - sound sources created using createSoundSource
"EmptyDetector" - all Triggers
"Logic" - all game logics

⚠

This command is quite performance heavy. Use with caution!

Multiplayer:

This command is ~5 times faster on a dedicated server than on a client. Reason unknown.

Groups:
