Help with script

[headshot101588 10]

I'm trying to find a building object on a certain map that I want to copy for my mission, this is the script that I'm trying to use and it isn't working. appreciate the help.

_objects = nearestObject [player, [] , 5];

{
    hint _x;
    sleep 5;

} forEach _objects;

Change nearestObject to nearestObjects

then you probably need typeof command to get the object type

[headshot101588 10]

So?

_objects = nearestObjects [player, [] , 5];

{
    hint _x;
    sleep 5;

} forEach typeof _objects;

If I understand right what you want:

 

_objects = nearestObjects [player, [] , 5];

_objTypes = [];



{
 _objTypes pushback (typeof _x);
} forEach _objects;



copytoclipboard (str _objTypes);

 

That copies to clipboard. press ctrl + V to paste it to somewhere

Hello there headshot101588 !

If you want to get all the map houses all the map  :

GF_Building_Replacement_centerPosition = getArray(configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "centerPosition");
GF_Building_Replacement_array = nearestTerrainObjects [GF_Building_Replacement_centerPosition, ["house"], worldsize];
copyToClipboard str GF_Building_Replacement_array;

this is from my :

You're not really giving much information about what you want to do exactly.

Do you need to get all nearby building types into the clipboard or is the hint sufficient?

onEachFrame {
	_stuff = (nearestObjects [player, [] , 5]) apply {typeOf _x};
	copyToClipboard str _stuff;
	hintSilent str _stuff
};

 

 

Cheers

for some reason it says its missing a semicolon and I have no idea why

I'm trying to find a specific house model, I put a unit(which is the player) next to that house, and on load, I'm hoping to find the class name so that later I could find it in Eden or something.

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

onEachFrame {hintSilent str [typeOf cursorObject, cursorObject]};

 

[headshot101588 10]

It gave me an error but after I took a look at the documentation I found that changing it to "onEachFrame {hintSilent str [getModelInfo cursorObject, typeOf cursorObject]};" did the trick I'm pretty sure.

This will give you the .p3d model and not the classname , how it didn't work ? did you added the code above in the init.sqf or the  player's init ?

was I supposed to put this command in the init.sqf or some other .sqf file?

 

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

you can place it also in an sqf and as i posted above , i think also on the debug console.

What exacly you did and what was the error ?

With this script you get the name of the object you are currently pointing, you can then type that name in the eden object search:

 

addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame",
{
hintSilent (getText (configfile >> "cfgVehicles" >> (typeOf cursorObject) >> "displayName")); 
}];

 

Run it in debug console or in init.sqf for example

and how did you use it ?

Did you tried this again as the examples above ?

[headshot101588 10]

I wrote this:

onEachFrame { hintSilent (typeOf cursorObject) };

and it seems to work, or is it returning something else?

I checked and it this did work. Thank you @GREGOR_FLOROS, the script you posted on my other thread combined with the thing I wrote above worked
