Description

Description:

Returns road piece information.

ⓘ

Bridges are special case. Only large bridges are part of Road Net. Small pedestrian bridges are not recognized as roads. Bridge "mapType" is "ROAD" so the best way to detect bridges is to check "isBridge" value. Bridges are not part of new roads and don't have the same info as other new roads, so only "mapType", "texture" (maybe "textureEnd"), "begPos", "endPos" and "isBridge" are updated.
Pedestrian roads "mapType" is usually "TRAIL". They are part of Road Net but excluded from path finding. Use roadsConnectedTo with alternative flag to find the connections between pedestrian roads.

Syntax

Syntax:

getRoadInfo road

Parameters:

road: Object

Return Value:

Array in format [mapType, width, isPedestrian, texture, textureEnd, material, begPos, endPos, isBridge], where:

mapType: String - road segment type, could be "HIDE", "ROAD", "MAIN ROAD", "TRACK", "TRAIL" (see nearestTerrainObjects)
width: Number - road segment width
isPedestrian: Boolean - when true road is for pedestrian use only
texture: String - road segment surface texture
textureEnd: String - road segment surface texture
material: String - road segment surface material
begPos: Array format PositionASL - start of the road segment
endPos: Array format PositionASL - finish of the road segment
isBridge: Boolean - when true road segment is a bridge

Examples

Example 1:: private _info = getRoadInfo _road; _info params ["_mapType", "_width", "_isPedestrian", "_texture", "_textureEnd", "_material", "_begPos", "_endPos", "_isBridge"]; private _roadDirection = _begPos getDir _endPos;
