I am confused too ... what does this command boundingbox not do ? (ok, get the maximum of cause, but for which use ?) | I am confused too ... what does this command boundingbox not do ? (ok, get the maximum of cause, but for which use ?) | ||
The maximum can be also reached in the height too, or i'm wrong ? --[[User:Lester|Lester]] 03:11, 3 June 2007 (CEST) | The maximum can be also reached in the height too, or i'm wrong ? --[[User:Lester|Lester]] 03:11, 3 June 2007 (CEST) | ||

Revision as of 16:00, 11 June 2007
Forgive my ignorance. I am confused. Example 1 - sizeOf "M1Abrams" A good example includes a meaningful return value within a certain context. How would the size of a M1Abrams change throughout the battle? Can someone clarify for me? --ViperMaul 17:44, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
- The size, of course, doesn't change, but the object you're measuring has to be present in the current mission, otherwise only zero is returned. --Kronzky 00:06, 3 June 2007 (CEST)
Ok I think I get what you are saying. I will still be looking forward to some applied examples on the content page. In how to best use this. Thanks. --ViperMaul 01:25, 3 June 2007 (CEST)
