Detecting type of nearest dead unit

[KTottE]

Trust me to complicate things

Well, what I want/need is this:

Some way of detecting the type (typeOf will do just fine) of the nearest dead unit.

99% of the time he will be killed by me right before I need this to work, so EH's might do the trick, but in some cases the bodies might be left lying around for a while before I need the information.

Do you suppose an array of dead-body types and their position would work?
With the information being passed at death-time by EHs?

Any pointers on how to do it

do array of dead bodies (just make array of all soldiers dere - nd den wen som1dies remove him nd put him in da dead bodies array)

nd den just check 4 distance (simple distance function or loop) nd wen u get da closest use typeoff command on him  

wat r u tryin 2 do nywayz ? i had somin dat uses da same thing (aint released yet  ) but if u need somin like dis 1 (not telin but ill tel ya if its da same thingy) i may just save u lots of time

Here is a test mission I made when doing lojack 2. It keeps track of dead bodies and then makes an AI unit pick up a gun from the nearest dead body.

In the mission, kill all of the east dudes (they are set to careless), then use the radio [0,0,1] and the AI guy will run to the nearest dead body and grab his gun.

This should show you how it can be done.

Nice.
What I'm trying to do is create the famous covert op unit. You know, one that can steal clothes from killed enemies
Though I just remembered, you can't define players mid-mission, so this script might (will) only work for AI.
Hmm, bugger...
