Locating Objects Problem

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to get a handle on a specific object and am having some trouble. My code is looking for "Land_MarketShelter_F" within a specific radius.

 

isKindOf says the market shelter is a "Building", and if I type in the debug console -

copyToClipboard str nearestObjects [_thisAnchorPos, ["building"], 200];

...I can see "Land_MarketShelter_F" in the array. But when I use this code in my script -

    _thisShelter = nearestObjects [_thisAnchorPos, ["building"], 200];
    {
      if (typeOf _x == "Land_MarketShelter_F") then { [_x] call BIS_fnc_replaceWithSimpleObject; };
    } forEach _thisShelter;

...it's not in the array. In fact, that last bit of code returns a much smaller array of objects.

 

It doesn't help that isKindOf says the market shelter is a "Building", but  BIS_fnc_objectType says it's a "House".

 

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

_thisShelter = nearestObjects [_thisAnchorPos, ["building"], 200];

  {

    if (typeOf _x == "Land_MarketShelter_F") then {

      [_x] call BIS_fnc_replaceWithSimpleObject;

   };

} forEach _thisShelter

 

works for me (in SP). Just verify your position (_thisAnchorPos) as reference.

Thanks. Somewhere above this code, I was using BIS_fnc_objectsMapper to spawn in a composition, and even though I could see all the objects spawned in, apparently there is something that goes on in the background and the composition takes a few seconds to fully "initialize".

 

I moved my code down a bit and put a sleep 5; in front of it, and now it works.
