Longbow: Returns either number or boolean value, in case max value in array 0, command will return either 0 or false, which ever comes first. Same for 1 and true values. selectMax [false,0] // returns false selectMax [0,false] // returns 0 selectMax [true,1] // returns true selectMax [1,true] // returns 1 in case all values are equal or less than zero, command may also return other type of values selectMax ["",false,0,-1] // returns "" if nil value appears in array, other values are equal or less than zero, command returns nil

 |Returns the array element with [[max]]imum numerical value. Engine solution to [[BIS_fnc_greatestNum]] and [[BIS_fnc_findExtreme]]. Therefore it is expected that supplied array consists of [[Number]]s only. [[Boolean]]s however are also supported and will be evaluated as [[Number]]s: [[true]] - 1, [[false]] - 0.  [[nil]] value treated as 0.
