What is "Lasertarget" called in Arma2?

[Duke49th 1]

Hi guys. I have a problem:

In arma 1 you have LaserTargetE, LaserTargetW and LasertargetS.

What the heck is it called in ArmA2?

Pleease could anyone tell me that?

I searched the whole Internet, but found NOTHING!

Please help me!:)

They're the same. LaserTargetE, LaserTargetW, LaserTargetC

Nope;)

But I got it....after hours of searching:icon_rolleyes:

Via debugging Console:

LaserTargetWBase

LaserTargetEBase

LaserTargetCBase

:cool:

Cheers

Hmm would it be possible to get the position of it anyhow? I've tried getpos, location, getmarkerpos... none of them worked.

Hi I'm running wild in trying to get this LaserTarget to run.

Problem:

AH1Z shall fire at laserdot ...pretty simple so far..

LaserTargetW, E or something.. just returns the address of the position, not the real position..

example:

heli nearObjects["LaserTargetW",500] returns :

[183e8800# 1055220: lasertgt.p3d]

nothing I can handle with in Arma2

BUT:

heli nearTargets 500 returns :

[[[5226.58,8629.57,5.91382],"LaserTargetWBase",EAST,1e+015,183e8800# 1055220: lasertgt.p3d,0],[[5128.11,8647.91,1.17307],"T72_Gue",CIV,-999988,1952a400# 1055169: t72.p3d,0],[[5097.65,8638.91,1.19815],"T90",CIV,-999988,1951d800# 1055168: t90.p3d,0], ..and so on..lots of further targets...

Point your eyes on the very first entry of the above Array :

[[5226.58,8629.57,5.91382],"LaserTargetWBase",EAST,1e+015,183e8800# 1055220: lasertgt.p3d,0]

And within this array's

first entry:

[5226.58,8629.57,5.91382]

second entry:

"LaserTargetWBase"

....

problem solved...i thought...

I can see the position of the laserpoint and its typeName(?), I can grab the values and...at this point I'm lost..i've tried almost everything to check the "LaserTargetWBase" entry with other vars, values and stuff, but I'm not able to get a hand on this LaserTarget position and play around with it.

Anyone any ideas ?

Edit:

for now I'm running a foreach loop to check all candidates within this array. To figure out the right one I need an exit condition something like "LaserTargetWBase" == "LaserTargetWBase" (...yeah I know, but you will get the idea ;-) ). If I have this condition at the LaserTargetWBase, then I also have the correct position of this damned dot and everything is fine.

Hope this is clear ...it's pretty late in germany...

It seems that the "LaserTargetW, E, Base and stuff, not working properly.

For now its not possible to get values directly by typing in classnames/typenames in the nearObjects Filter.

The sidestep over the nearTargets command is working for me. Just a search and break condition to "LaserTargetWBase" is needed.

I solved it meanwhile by using the "in array" check.

I tried to get the position of the laser beam with this

obj = nearestobject[player,["LaserTargetWBase"]]

hint format ["%1",position obj]

The returned position is always [0,0,0]

Anyone figured this out yet?

Are you guys trying to find the position of a lasertarget object for some reason? Or are you just trying to make a laser target to lock on to?

If it's the latter... I made a thread about this not too long ago and got a script posted on how to create a lasertarget on an object to lock on to it, only expiring when the object is dead.
