Description

Description:
Returns an approximate size of the object of given type in meters. Size returned is usually bigger than the biggest size of the object along any of the axes. For example if object is 10 x 4 x 5 the sizeOf value returned expected to be around 10. If you need to estimate the size of the object more precisely, use boundingBox or boundingBoxReal. NOTE: The object has to be present in current mission to be able to read its size (otherwise zero will be returned).
