grab all city place ?

[darkiron 1]

I want to take all city in a script, how I can do this ?

the result would like :{[pyrgos, 1.1133,15,111],...}

Not 100% sure that I understand what you want, but if you want to end up with an array (_cityarray) with all towns on the map in it then:

_cityarray = [];
_cities = nearestlocations [getpos player ,["namevillage","namecity","NameCityCapital"],20000]; // find all towns on map
{
_citypos = locationPosition _x
_city = text _x;
_cityarray set [count _cityarray, [_city,_citypos]];
} foreach _cities;

Would it not be faster to look through the config, rather than searching for places?

_placesCfg = configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "Names";
_placesToKeep = ["NameCityCapital","NameCity","NameVillage"];
_places = [];
for "_i" from 0 to (count _placesCfg)-1 do
{
_place = _placesCfg select _i;
_name = toUpper(getText(_place >> "name"));
_position = getArray (_place >> "position");
_type = getText(_place >> "type");
if(_type in _placesToKeep) then {
   		_places set [_i, [_name, _position]];
};
};

Nice one, might use that myself!

Fixed the missing underscore and brackets:

_placesCfg = configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "Names";
_placesToKeep = ["NameCityCapital","NameCity","NameVillage"];
_places = [];
for "_i" from 0 to (count _placesCfg)-1 do
{
_place = _placesCfg select _i;
_name = toUpper(getText(_place >> "name"));
_position = getArray (_place >> "position");
_type = getText(_place >> "type");
if(_type in _placesToKeep) then {
   		_places set [_i, [_name, _position]];
};
};

That's what happens when you type code without trying it. Thanks Grumpy Old Man!
