Description

Description:

Returns a bounding box of given object in model coordinate space, adjusted according to destruction/animation of an object. This command is rather generous on the size estimation, for more precise coordinates use boundingBoxReal.

ⓘ

In 1.92 The output of both syntaxes got extended to include bounding sphere diameter. See also sizeOf.

Syntax:

boundingBox object

Parameters:

object: Object

Return Value:

Array - an array with the extreme points of the model in format PositionRelative, as well as bounding box sphere diameter.
Format [[xmin, ymin, zmin], [xmax, ymax, zmax], boundingSphereDiameter].

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:

clippingType boundingBox object

Parameters:

clippingType: Number - Clipping type could be:

• 0 - ClipVisual (could significantly reduce the size of bounding boxes on buildings)
• 1 - ClipShadow
• 2 - ClipGeometry
• 3 - ClipGeneral (Default, the same type that is used in main syntax)

object: Object

Return Value:

Array - an array with the extreme points of the model bounding box in format PositionRelative, as well as bounding box sphere diameter.
Format [[xmin, ymin, zmin], [xmax, ymax, zmax], boundingSphereDiameter].

Examples

Example 1:

private _box = boundingBox _abrams;

Example 2:

hint str (0 boundingBox cursorObject);
