Distance to object

[GieNkoV 30]

So basically i want to know distance from player to an IED, and so if player speed > 7 and player distance to IED < _dist then BOOM. Code works good for driving a vehicle (explosion), shooting IED (explosion) but it dont detect a player. So now I got this:

if (((speed nearestObject [_IED])>7) and ((((nearestObject [_IED]) distance _IED)<_dist))) then
{
boomcode
}

This is the only part of the code that doesnt work.

And it does not want to work (it has to work on dedicated server). I tried using player distance _IED but it doesnt work too. Anyone can help me?

Check the nearestObject syntax

Still cannot get it to work.

EDIT: Made it working. Can close thread.

I forgot I was testing my code on ingame hosted server, not dedicated server, so I still have problem with making this code working. I will paste here all what I have written and all of this IS WORKING on ingame hosted server, but detecting player doesnt works on dedicated.

_isIED={
 _IED=_this select 0;
 _IED setvariable ["_IEDEnabled",true,true];
 _loop=true;
 _dist=10+random(15);
 while {(!isnull _IED) and (_IED getvariable "_IEDEnabled") and (_loop)} do
 {

   {
      if !(isnull _x) then
      {
		if (({(speed _x)>7 && (_x distance _IED)<_dist} count allUnits) > 0) then
			{
				[_IED] call _isIEDExplosion;
				_loop=false;
			};
		if ((speed vehicle _x)>7 and (((vehicle _x) distance _IED)<_dist )) then
			{
				[_IED] call _isIEDExplosion;
				_loop=false;
			};
		if ((damage _IED)>0.05) then
			{
				[_IED] call _isIEDExplosion;
				_loop=false;
			};
     };
   } foreach allUnits;
 sleep 1;
 };

};

you dont need ({(speed _x)>7 && (_x distance _IED)<_dist} count allUnits) > 0

you are doing it for every unit anyway because of foreach loop

(speed _x)>7 && (_x distance _IED)<_dist

is enough but you don't need this either because this:

(speed vehicle _x)>7 and (((vehicle _x) distance _IED)<_dist //one bracket too many?

will take care of both players on foot and in vehicles

also try playableUnits instead of allUnits on the dedi.
