Hey there. Wasn't sure if this was advanced enough for advanced, so I just posted it here.

The question is fairly simple. I want to find any near bullets (of the "B_556x45_Ball" type) to a unit. Easy as that. I've checked out seven's (I think?) Suppression Script, but it simply uses the typical names of the various bullets used by west/east forces (so the west forces check for i.e. "B_545x39_Ball" whereas the east check for the above, + other bullets). This obviously won't work with addons that have their own magazines and their own "bullet types". So the question is:

What is the most "base" class of bullets/projectiles that can be used together with for instance nearObjects to find them? I haven't spotted anything in the WIKI or in the listings here on OFPEC; maybe I'm just blind.  :dunno:

Thanks!

"BulletBase" for bullets.

Shell type ammo derives from "ShellBase".
Rockets from "RocketBase".
Missiles from "MissileBase".

Yes, but ALL bullets inherit from class BulletBase, east, west, north, south and all points between.

However, BulletBase inherits from BulletCore, but I supppose the 'base' class for bullets should be viewed as BulletBase.

Much obliged!

Strangely enough, using nearestObjects doesn't work, whereas nearObjects does. Ah well. We'll see if I can get the thingamajog I want to get working working.  :good:
