Check if vehicles are inside radius

[iV - Ghost 50]

How can I check if vehicles from a defined type (O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F) are inside a radius around a position?

This should be a condition for a waitUntil loop.

But I don't have a area because my position is a icon marker with no radius.

I could use a area marker and inArea but a icon marker look better in this case.

And with nearestObject I can only detect one vehicle.

[Tankbuster 1747]

You're going to have to be a little clearer. Do you know the radius you want to check around the position?

[iV - Ghost 50]

The radius could be 50m. But it is not important.

This is a working way for detecting only 1 vehicle:

// TRIGGER END
waitUntil {

    sleep 1;
    !alive (getMarkerPos "AA_Mike26_1" nearestObject "O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F");

};

 

But I need to detect all of the given kind.

 

 

 

EDIT

Maybe something like this:

(getMarkerPos "AA_Mike26_1" nearSupplies 50 select {_x isKindOf "O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F"}) count vehicle == 0;

 

[Tankbuster 1747]

vehicles inAreaArray [getmarkerpos "myiconmarker", 50, 50, 0, false, -1] select {(typeOf _x) isEqualto "O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F"};

Will return all the Tigrii (little known fact, plural of Tigris) within 50 of your marker. Adjust the marker name to what yours is.

In a waitUntil.

 

waitUntil {count (vehicles inAreaArray [getmarkerpos "myiconmarker", 50, 50, 0, false, -1] select {(typeOf _x) isEqualto "O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F") > 0};

 

 

[iV - Ghost 50]

OK. Small syntax fail in your version. Should be:

count (vehicles inAreaArray [getmarkerpos "AA_Mike26_1", 50, 50, 0, false, -1] select {(typeOf _x) isEqualto "O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F"}) == 0;

 

But this detected all "O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F" in the area.

How can I select only the alive ones?

@iV - Ghost, use nearEntities command.

Error: No defined variable in _x

[Schatten 290]

(getMarkerPos "AA_Mike26_1") nearEntities ["O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F", 50];

vehicles inAreaArray [getMarkerPos "AA_Mike26_1", 50, 50] select {(alive _x) and {(typeOf _x) == "O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F"}};

 

[davidoss 552]

count (vehicles inAreaArray [getmarkerpos "AA_Mike26_1", 50, 50, 0, false, -1] select {((typeOf _x) isEqualto "O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F") && {alive _x}}) != 0

 

But like Schatten already says nearEntities gives you better approach

[davidoss 552]

!(((entities [["O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F"], [], false, true]) inAreaArray "AA_Mike26_1") isEqualTo [])

you can also like this if the marker has any shape

[iV - Ghost 50]

OK thx a lot. How would the syntax for a waitUntil condition look?

Something like this?

 

count (getmarkerpos "AA_Mike26_1" nearEntities ["O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F", 50]) == 0;

 

[Schatten 290]

@iV - Ghost, just delete semicolon:

waitUntil {
	(count ((getMarkerPos "AA_Mike26_1") nearEntities ["O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F", 50])) == 0
};

 

[iV - Ghost 50]

Why you put it in brackets and let the "== 0" outside of it?

Should it not be:

waitUntil {

    sleep 1;
    count (getmarkerpos "AA_Mike26_1" nearEntities ["O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F", 50]) == 0;

};

 

[davidoss 552]

As the post thema says it schould be opposite of

It's for better perception.

Yea,

waitUntil {
	(count ((getMarkerPos "AA_Mike26_1") nearEntities ["O_APC_Tracked_02_AA_F", 50])) > 0
};

Perception? Better for the work of the engine?

Or for my personal perception?

[davidoss 552]

You guys are making this thread red.

2 + 2 > 2

(2 + 2) > 2

The engine doesn't care about extra brackets. It's just for convenience of human perception.

[iV - Ghost 50]

OK. Sorry for the crazy questions. I try to learn and startet few weeks ago.

I have a lot of stuff to catch up. Thx to all for the help and the explanations!

Not entirely true, few commands demand following parameters to be in brackets, like this:

systemchat str ["oy","vey"] select 1;//prints: ["oy","vey"]
systemchat str (["oy","vey"] select 1);//prints: vey

Cheers

[Schatten 290]

@Grumpy Old Man, another advantage of using extra brackets!
