Description

Description:: Returns a bounding box of given object in model coordinate space, adjusted according to destruction/animation of an object. This command is rather generous on the size estimation, for more precise coordinates use boundingBoxReal.
ⓘ
In 1.92 The output of both syntaxes got extended to include bounding sphere diameter. See also sizeOf.
Groups:: Object Manipulation

Syntax

Syntax:: boundingBox object
Parameters:: object: Object
Return Value:: Array - an array with the extreme points of the model in format PositionRelative, as well as bounding box sphere diameter.
Format [[xmin, ymin, zmin], [xmax, ymax, zmax], boundingSphereDiameter].

1.92

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:

clippingType boundingBox object

Parameters:

clippingType: Number - clipping type could be:

0 - ClipVisual (could significantly reduce the size of bounding boxes on buildings)
1 - ClipShadow
2 - ClipGeometry
3 - ClipGeneral (Default, the same type that is used in main syntax)

object: Object

Return Value:

Array - an array with the extreme points of the model bounding box in format PositionRelative, as well as bounding box sphere diameter.
Format [[xmin, ymin, zmin], [xmax, ymax, zmax], boundingSphereDiameter].

Examples

Example 1:: private _box = boundingBox _abrams;
Example 2:: hint str (0 boundingBox cursorObject);
