Accessing shell cartridge as object (nearestobject)

[rejenorst 18]

Have tried to get a variable tied to an ejected shell for the 7.92mm.

I tried the following:

_nObject = nearestObject [_unit, "FxCartridge"]

_nObject = nearestObject [_unit, FxCartridge_762"]

_nObject = nearestObject [_unit, FxCartridge_small"]

But none seem to work.

Anyone managed to get an ejected shell casing as an object?

Am trying to make an intro script that focuses on an ejected shell casing.

Somehow I think it's not counted as an object, more like a 3d particle effect.

Yeah that might explain it :(

There's some persistent shell addons, maybe rip those open and see how they work? Might put you on the right track.

Actually, they are real objects (you can even createVehicle them). However I think the way they are spawned makes it impossible to get a reference to them.

You can increase the "TimeToLive" parameter in the config (in the class "ThingEffect" if it hasn't changed) for having them being persistent. But i don't think you can retrieve them through nearestobject, as being stated.
