ⓘ
This command is much faster than nearestObjects for on-foot soldier and vehicle detection.
Groups:
Object Detection

Syntax

Syntax:
position nearEntities radius
Parameters:
position: Object or Array in format PositionAGL or Position2D - center of the sphere
radius: Number - radius of the sphere
Return Value:
Array of Objects - not sorted

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:
position nearEntities [type, radius]
Parameters:
position: Object or Array in format PositionAGL or Position2D - center of the sphere
type: String or Array of Strings - type(s) to search for. See isKindOf
radius: Number - radius of the sphere
Return Value:
Array of Objects - not sorted

Examples

Example 1:
_list = player nearEntities 20; _list = ASLToAGL getPosASL player nearEntities 50; _list = player nearEntities ["Man", 1000]; _list = ASLToAGL getPosASL player nearEntities ["LaserTarget", 3000]; _list = player nearEntities [["Car", "Motorcycle", "Tank"], 50]; _list = ASLToAGL getPosASL player nearEntities [["Man", "Air", "Car", "Motorcycle", "Tank"], 200];
