:Check the Z coordinate of the location. In Arma some ''NameVillage'' Locations are positioned below sea level (IIRC Bonanza is at [<x>,<y>,-200]), so searching for stuff near them (e.g. 100m) won't yield any results. --[[User:Worldeater|Worldeater]] 05:29, 30 September 2009 (CEST) | |||

::Radii are defined for spheres just like for circles, so I don't see why this should imply a distance on a plane. Anyways, I think radius is just fine, as it implies a spherical shape with position as center, and everything inside that shape is returned. Distance is a good fit too, though. Both have their pros and cons. --[[User:TeRp|TeRp]] 17:13, 21 June 2010 (CEST) | |||

The returned object is not necessarily the closest one.
But an array of objects is returned, so this doesnt make sense. --T_D 09:46, 4 May 2007 (CEST)
- Yeah, sorry. I'll rephrase that.
- I meant to say that the first element in the array is not necessarily the closest one (like it is in the other "near*" commands). --Kronzky 16:31, 4 May 2007 (CEST)
Note recently added:
{_x setdamage 1} foreach (player nearObjects 50);
This neglects to mention that the player will also be killed, as will any other units within the range.
