Question: How to tellif a type of vehicle is close to a object

[Sqeemin 1]

Hello.

I'm trying to get an object to identify a type of vehicle (e.g "B_truck_01_box_F") so when it gets close it will execute a script.

How would you get the object to identify the id of the vehicle("B_truck_01_box_F")?

thanks.

_count = count (player nearObjects ["B_truck_01_box_F", 50]);  
if (_count > 0) then {hint "truck near"};

thanks the detecting the truck part of it works , but the part that doesn't work is when you start the mission. the script only works at the start of the mission then after that it won't work I've tried making a trigger that repeats and then put _test = execVM "test.sqf" in the init line but it doesn't work.

_null = [] execVM "test.sqf"

I put this into the init.sqf and it went off everytime a truck drove by.

[] spawn {
while {true} do {
	private "_truckNear";
	_truckNear = nearestObjects [player, ["B_truck_01_box_F"], 30];    
	if (count _truckNear >= 1) then {hint "truck near"};
	sleep 1;
};
};
