Description

Description:

Returns a list of nearest terrain objects of the given types to the given position or object, within the specified distance. If more than one object is found they will be ordered according to distance2D to the object (i.e. the closest one will be first in the array). In contrast to nearestObjects this command returns terrain placed objects like trees, rocks and buildings which don't necessarily need an associated config class.

position can use the format: [[x,y,z], ["Type",...], radius] or [object, ["Type",...], radius] To use it without any type filter: [object or position, [], radius]

Possible type names:"TREE", "SMALL TREE", "BUSH", "BUILDING", "HOUSE", "FOREST BORDER", "FOREST TRIANGLE", "FOREST SQUARE", "CHURCH", "CHAPEL", "CROSS", "ROCK", "BUNKER", "FORTRESS", "FOUNTAIN", "VIEW-TOWER", "LIGHTHOUSE", "QUAY", "FUELSTATION", "HOSPITAL", "FENCE", "WALL", "HIDE", "BUSSTOP", "ROAD", "FOREST", "TRANSMITTER", "STACK", "RUIN", "TOURISM", "WATERTOWER", "TRACK", "MAIN ROAD", "ROCKS", "POWER LINES", "RAILWAY", "POWERSOLAR", "POWERWAVE", "POWERWIND", "SHIPWRECK", "TRAIL"
