• "VIEW"
• "GEOM"
• "IFIRE" - ("I" stands for Indirect, almost the same as FIRE)

Syntax:

[object, lodName] intersect [begPos, endPos]

Parameters:

[object, lodName]: Array

object: Object

lodName: String

[begPos, endPos] : Array

begPos: Array - format PositionAGL

endPos: Array - format PositionAGL

Return Value:

Array - array of intersections in format: [[selection, distance],...], where

• selection - name of intersected selection
• distance - distance from begPos

The results are also sorted, closest selection first

The most common LOD is "FIRE", which identifies the most detailled hitbox used for ammunition.

Example (In ArmA3 ver 1.14) display returned arrays on cursor entities:
Sto = []; Fn = { { Sto set [_foreachindex,[cursortarget,_x] intersect [(asltoagl (eyepos player)),(screentoworld [0.5,0.5])]]; } foreach ["FIRE","VIEW","GEOM","IFIRE"]; hintsilent format ["FIRE: %1, VIEW: %2, GEOM: %3, IFIRE: %4",Sto select 0,Sto select 1,Sto select 2,Sto select 3]; }; ["sample_id","onEachFrame","Fn"] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler; Return FIRE: [something], VIEW: [something], GEOM: [something], IFIRE: [something].

intersect will spam .rpt if passed to it object has no skeleton. Use getModelInfo to filter out those objects.
