Master_Chief 0 Posted March 25, 2004 I am making a script where I want it to detect the nearest vehicle and determine whether it is a car, tank, plane, chopper, or boat. Can this be done or would I have to use nearestobject and define each vehicle manually? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted March 25, 2004 Use the counttype command: "Man" counttype [unitname] == 1: hint "Unit is man class" "air" counttype [unitname] == 1: hint "Unit is air class" RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master_Chief 0 Posted March 25, 2004 Okay, so how do I detect the nearest unit in a way that it could be different classes? Like now i have: _nearest = nearestObject [_unit, "jeep"] ? ("Man" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is man class" ? ("Plane" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is air class" ? ("Tank" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is tank class" ? ("Helicopter" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is helo class" so what would I replace "jeep" with? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted March 25, 2004 Couldn't you also use TypeOf ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted March 26, 2004 _nearest = nearestobject _pos ? ("Man" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is man class" ? ("Plane" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is air class" ? ("Tank" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is tank class" ? ("Helicopter" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is helo class" Typeof does not detect base classes, it will be no use in this situation. RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master_Chief 0 Posted March 26, 2004 _nearest = nearestobject _pos I assume that _pos is the getpos of the unit executing the script. This doesn't work because the nearestobject at those coordinates is the unit executing the script Btw this script is done using addaction and what I want it to do is have it that you can walk up to a vehicle and check the base class.

RED 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Try using something like this: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _unit = unitname _i = 0.1 #loop _pos = [(getpos _unit select 0) + sin (getdir _unit + 180) * _i, (getpos _unit select 1) + cos (getdir _unit + 180) * _i,0] _nearest = nearestobject _pos _i = _i + 0.3 ?_nearest == _unit && _i < 3: goto "loop" ?_nearest == _unit : goto "no_unit" ? ("Man" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is man class" ? ("Plane" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is air class" ? ("Tank" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is tank class" ? ("Helicopter" counttype [_nearest] == 1): hint "Unit is helo class" exit #no_unit hint "No unit present" exit Not tested, but it should work! RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt_Wilson 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Hi, Do you want an action that is only available to certain vehicle classes, or will the same action be displayed for all vehicles? Do you want an action that just returns the actual class of any vehicle, like "M1A1" or "UAZ"? Do you want an action that tells you if its Land, Air , Tank, APC e.t.c This is what I assume you mean when you say Base Class? But I dont think you need to use nearest object, Actions should pass the Vehicle there attached to, to the script you call? Hard to say without knowing exactly what the action is for?

Master_Chief 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Quote[/b] ]_pos = [(getpos _unit select 0) + sin (getdir _unit + 180) * _i, (getpos _unit select 1) + cos (getdir _unit + 180) * _i,0] Brilliant! it works, but the _pos position is always behind the _unit so you have to face away from the vehicle, could you fix this please? Thanks *edit* to fix it I just removed the + 180 from _pos. It works prefectly now and I thank you for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
