:Check the Z coordinate of the location. In Arma some ''NameVillage'' Locations are positioned below sea level (IIRC Bonanza is at [<x>,<y>,-200]), so searching for stuff near them (e.g. 100m) won't yield any results. --[[User:Worldeater|Worldeater]] 05:29, 30 September 2009 (CEST)

The returned object is not necessarily the closest one.

But an array of objects is returned, so this doesnt make sense. --T_D 09:46, 4 May 2007 (CEST)

Yeah, sorry. I'll rephrase that.
I meant to say that the first element in the array is not necessarily the closest one (like it is in the other "near*" commands). --Kronzky 16:31, 4 May 2007 (CEST)

Note recently added:

{_x setdamage 1} foreach (player nearObjects 50);

This neglects to mention that the player will also be killed, as will any other units within the range.
