Instead of nearObjects how to get all objects

[joikd 10]

Vanilla working code is this:

_position = getPosATL player;
_nearby = _position nearObjects ["building",200];

So, this appears to get the position of the player, then all of the "building"s within 200 of that player's position.

How would I get all of the "building"s that are on the map (every single one--not just within 200) in a similar format as nearObjects without having a player's position to use as a reference point? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Put a marker named "myMapCenter". near the center of your map.

Then:

_nearby = (getMarkerPos "myMapCenter") nearObjects ["building",20000];

if the map is bigger than 20 clicks then just bump up the distance.

I've never used this so am not sure if it will get map opbjects. It seems to suggest it will only get objects created by the editor and possibly in script.

Both this and a nearobjects with a large radius are going to be very CPU intensive. Use with care.

Thanks a million, gents. I will give these a try. Only using once upon server start, so should be okay CPU-wise I think.

Don't bother with the marker:

_center = getArray(configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> _worldName >> "centerPosition";

where _worldName is your map name (eg.: Chernarus)

Yes that does work, but the problem is that its not always in the right spot, and some map makes don't even define it at all in there configs.

My solution will always work even on custom maps that do not have all the location data configured.
