Although locations can be placed in 3D with setPosition, nearestLocations' search result is sorted in 2D.
Groups:
Locations

Syntax

Syntax:
nearestLocations [centre, locationTypes, radius, sortPosition]
Parameters:
centre: Array format Position2D, Position3D or Object
locationTypes: Array of Strings - list of location type names, e.g "NameCity"; Arma 3 logo black.png2.14 passing empty array [] will return all available locations within the radius
radius: Number - maximum distance from the given position that returned locations may be, in metres
sortPosition: Array format Position2D, Position3D or Object - (Optional) results will be sorted from the distance to given sortPosition (nearest to farthest still)
Return Value:
Array of Locations

Examples

Example 1:
_nearbyLocations = nearestLocations [getPosATL player, ["RockArea", "VegetationFir"], 100];
Example 2:
Find any of nearest locations:
private _allLocationTypes = []; "_allLocationTypes pushBack configName _x" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgLocationTypes"); { systemChat format [ "%1 (%2) - %3m", _x, text _x, getPosATL player distance _x ]; } forEach nearestLocations [player, _allLocationTypes, 500];
