Pierre MGI: NearEntities returns many objects like "man" of course but also "animal", "logic" (and there are plenty of with Arsenal openings), "ammoBox_F", each weapon holder created when a unit dies.... Unfortunately, this command reaches the club of the other ones like nearestObjects as FPS demanding command.

-This kind of functions remains FPS killer if you can't manage conditions in order to reduce operations for each entity or, to reduce the number of entities.

-One of the most demanding CPU/GPU resource is probably a DrawIcon3D treatment for these entities.

-Don't stay with a simple radius condition (disk selecting entities).
-Each time you can treat visible entities, as icons displaying, try to restrict this function to your screen.
-For example:
-if (((worldToScreen (visiblePosition _x)) select 0 > (0 * safezoneW + safezoneX)) &&
- ((worldToScreen (visiblePosition _x)) select 0 <(1 * safezoneW + safezoneX))) then {...} foreach _pos nearEntities _radius
