nearestobject(s) does not include foliage, fences and trees

[laggy]

Hi all.

I would like to destroy EVERYTHING within a certain radius and this is what I've done:

Radio Alpha trigger:

On Activation: {_x setdamage 1} foreach nearestObjects [spot, ["All"], 500]

spot is a gamelogic.

All buildings, cars and soldiers are destroyed but not fences, trees and foliage. Why is that? Do they not fall under the "nearestObject" category or what? How can I include them as well?

Thanks in advance you scripting guru's

As far as I know it is impossible.
Foliage does not have any config entries, meaning they are not configged in CfgVehicles in the game config and therefore can not be found like that.

Here is a quote from a post I saw in the BIS forums.  It was suggested for use with Gigan's nuke Scud but it looks like you could use it by itself.  Just change the radius as necessary.  I have never tried it but if it works (and doesn't destroy your FPS) it looks it might be what you are looking for.

Quote from: BIS Forums - SCUD - Nuclear Explosion

If someone misses falling trees and walls, place an object called "jebut" near the explosion point and fire this script 1 second before the nuke explosion:

Code: [Select]

_array1 = (nearestObjects [jebut,[], 350]) - ((getPos jebut) nearObjects 350)
~1.5
{_x setdammage (1.0)} forEach _array1
exit
That 1s delay is for preparing array. If it happened at the same time as the nuke goes boom, there would be an extreme fps dropdown. Right now I have about 0.4s slowdown before the nuke and then it all goes rather smooth.

Thank you Loyalguard.
It works perfectly except for the damn streetlamps... they still stand.

Great, I am glad it works.  You can find street lamps with the nearXXXObjects series of commands.  Just add additional code with "StreetLamp" as the object type and setDamage them to 1 as well.

Hi again Loyalguard.

Weird but I couldn't get it to work with NearestObjects "streetlamp" command. NearestObject works but not NearestObjects.
The only thing that worked was a NEARobjects command that has to run parallel with to the script you recommended.
This probably makes it lag a little bit more since it also calculates objects already covered in the other script, but it was the only way I could have absolutly EVERYTHING destroyed within the radius.
