Groups:
Positions

Syntax

Syntax:
surfaceType [x, y, z or useLayerMask]
Parameters:
x: Number - world x coordinate of the position
y: Number - world y coordinate of the position
since Arma 3 logo black.png2.18
z or useLayerMask: Number or Boolean - When a number is provided (Z in 3D positions), it is ignored. When a boolean is provided, it defines whether the layer mask should be used. Using the layer mask is more accurate but slightly slower.
The patches of "dirt" are defined using a layer mask. The "concrete" is the primary surface texture.
Return Value:
String - Surface type

Examples

Example 1:
private _surface = surfaceType [4500, 4500];
Example 2:
hint surfaceType getPosWorld player;
Example 3:
private _pos = getPosWorld player; _pos set [2, true]; // use layer mask surfaceType _pos;
