nearestObjects--filter results by distance?

[joikd 10]

nearestObjects [player, ["Car","Tank"], 1000]

Is there a way to run the above just once, but filter out objects based on distance rather than running it again? For example, could I get the objects from 200 to 1000, the objects from 200 to 800, and so on from the above? I don't want to run it multiple times for different ranges--it's just too demanding for higher ranges with many objects.

that command returns an array of objects, so you can iterate through it, checking for it's distance from the player.

<tankycode>
_myobjects = nearestobjects [player, ["car", tank"], 1000];
{
_mydistance = player distance _x;
if ((_mydistance > 200) and (_mydistance < 1000)) then {_mynewarray set _x};
}foreach _myobjects;

Above code guaranteed not to work as is, but you get the idea. _mynewarray will contain only the car and tank objects from _myobjects that are between 200 and 1000 meters from the player.

Oh and while I remember... if you don't need your _myobjects array to be sorted by distance, and from what I can see, you don't, you'd use nearobjects, but that command only allows you to specify one unit type to find, whereas you are using two. Swings/Roundabouts.
