The camera way does consider attitude, but unfortunately you can´t get rid of the object with camdestroy... In one of my early posts I tryed the vector method unsuccessfully, but today I made it work (it was a brackets thing):</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _vm = velocity _Obj _vx= _vm select 0 _vy= _vm select 1 _vz= _vm select 2 _vmod = sqrt( _vx^2+ _vx^2+ _vx^2) _pm = position _Obj _px= (_pm select 0) + ((_vx*20)/_vmod) _py= (_pm select 1) + ((_vy*20)/_vmod) _pz= (_pm select 2) + ((_vz*20)/_vmod) #_px, _py, _pz : point 20 mts ahead of _Obj <span id='postcolor'> Thanks for the tips!!

I´m trying to add an eventhandler "fired" to a weapon in the cpp. Just doing so doesn´t work. I know how to add it to the vehicle class of the soldier, but that doesn´t work if the weapon is picked-up from the field... Can be done? workarounds?

The problem is, that the nearest ANY object from the player is always the player itself. To catch any object in front of the player, you must not specify the point of reference to be the player itself, but some point a bit ahead of the player. Something like this: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_obj = nearestObject [((getpos player select 0) + 3*(sin getDir player)), ((getpos player select 1) + 3*(cos getdir player)), getpos player select 2];<span id='postcolor'> The previous will check the nearest object from a point which is 3m ahead of the player, regardless the heading of the player. If the player is the closest object to that spot, the _obj will point to the player. Therefore you have to check if the _obj is of class "Man" or something else. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">?("Man" countType [_obj] == 0) : hint "_obj is not the player";<span id='postcolor'> Unfortunately, a bullet doesn't seem to belong in any "type" that you can define in countType. If it did, it would be easy to catch a fired bullet. So far the only solution would be to use all the appropriate bullet names in nearestObject itself.<span id='postcolor'> Any idea of how to get a point ahead (20 mts) of a flying object (it must be in 3D) I´ve tryed this... </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _vm = velocity _Obj _vx= _vm select 0 _vy= _vm select 1 _vz= _vm select 2 _vmod = sqrt( _vx^2+ _vx^2+ _vx^2) _pm = position _Obj _px= _pm select 0 + (_vx*20/_vmod) _py= _pm select 1 + (_vy*20/_vmod) _pz= _pm select 2 + (_vz*20/_vmod) <span id='postcolor'> for some reason this doesn´t works...It gives me an error of "divide by zero" even when i´m sure the object is moving!

Is there a way to know all the vehicles object currently in a map (w/o triggers cause is for an addon script)???

You can add an eventhandler "Fired" to exec a script (the event passes the name of the weapon fired as a parameter) Search the forum for details.

It doesn´t, the first sample returns object _Obj and the second never returns anything...:(

I´m trying to get the closest object (of any kind) to an object but I can´t figure how...

If can be done with vehicles, works for me Another option is to repeat the line for every vehicle... PD: Is there a way to know all the vehicles object currently in a map (w/o triggers)
