Parameters:

category: String - one of:

• "Group" - Infantry units. Set to a reasonable distance, player should not see disabled infantry units. Default: 500m
• "Vehicle" - Vehicles with crew. Set to a reasonable distance, player should not see disabled vehicles. Default: 350m
• "EmptyVehicle" - All vehicles without crew. Separated from Props as Empty Vehicles have often more complex damage states and selective destruction. Their activation distance should by larger that the one used for Props. Default: 250m
• "Prop" - Static objects. Anything from a small tin can to a building. Default: 50m

distance: Number

Desired distances for "Group" and "Vehicle" must be based on viewDistance and fog to exclude any rendering problems with frequently moving objects. Example: "Group" setDynamicSimulationDistance ((viewDistance * 0.8) - (viewDistance * fog)) // 80% of maximum rendering and fog distance But that might impair objects simulations if you are using long-scope optics, so there's a even better solution using cameraView with it: [] spawn { while {true} do { if (cameraView isEqualTo "GUNNER") then { "Group" setDynamicSimulationDistance (viewDistance - (viewDistance * fog)); // Scoped } else { "Group" setDynamicSimulationDistance ((viewDistance * 0.8) - (viewDistance * fog)); // Not scoped }; uiSleep 0.25; }; };
