Looking for a script that finds all units that are in buildings

[Neviothr 102]

Does anyone know of a script that finds all the units which are inside a building, and then executes a code for all of those units?

 

Thanks in advance.

You can use findNearestEnnemy (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/findNearestEnemy), and then execute the code with the returned array ;) Can be also used with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/nearEntities nearEntities, it's more adapted to your demand :)

Here's a function I came up with to check if a unit or position is inside any building. I originally scripted it to do some pretests for nearby buildings before testing intersections, but it performed worse than the simplest way.

For my purposes being inside includes standing on ground under a roof or other structure, or standing on top a building with nothing overhead. This might not match your expectations, but it should be easy enough to apply a more strict definition of being inside.

I tried to use the next script from this thread: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/170467-determine-if-unit-is-outside-a-building/?p=2662697

{
	if (count (lineIntersectsObjs [(getPosASL _x), [(getPosASL _x select 0), (getPosASL _x select 1), ((getPosASL _x select 2) + 20)]]) == 0) then {
		hint "works";
	};
} forEach allUnits;

But it always hints "works", any ideas?

idk what the mistake is but i tested this with allPlayers and it worked:

{   
 if (count (lineIntersectsObjs [(getPosASL _x), [(getPosASL _x select 0), (getPosASL _x select 1), ((getPosASL _x select 2) + 20)]]) == 0) then 
 {    
  hint "works";   
 }
 else
 {
  hint "wall"
 };  
} forEach allPlayers; 

 

If i was inside a building it hinted "wall" outside it hinted "works"...

Ended up using CBA_fnc_taskDefend :p

If it is a specific building you can put a trigger under it and use list command

[davidoss 552]

killzone_kid  what about your function KK_fnc_inHouse ?

Could this  be used here?

_KK_fnc_inHouse = {
	lineIntersectsSurfaces [
		getPosWorld _this, 
		getPosWorld _this vectorAdd [0, 0, 50], 
		_this, objNull, true, 1, "GEOM", "NONE"
	] select 0 params ["","","","_house"];
	if (_house isKindOf "House") exitWith {true};
	false
};

_inbuildingUnits =[];

{
if (_x call _KK_fnc_inHouse) then {

_inbuildingUnits pushback _x;

};

} count allunits;
