Description

Description:
Boundingbox.jpg
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 Arma 3 logo black.png1.92 The output of both syntaxes got extended to include bounding sphere diameter. See also sizeOf.

Syntax

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);
