Notes

Posted on February 05, 2010 - 01:06
MaestrO.fr
In ArmA 2 returned value is "#UTGRASS" for natural surface and "#UTCONCRETE" for urban surface.
Posted on December 16, 2006 - 23:45
Kronzky
Only seems to return either "#GRASSSOUTH" or "#GRASSGENERAL", even when you're in a building or in water.
Posted on December 30, 2006 - 16:12
VictorF
Another returned value is "#SANDGENERAL". However, when providing an exact [x,y] position the "surfaceType" function seems to return the general surface type of the environment rather than the exact type on that given position.
