Title: how to get the nearest unit to the player?
Post by: SpawnFodder on 31 May 2005, 10:01:38

i have been trying to find a way to get a script to detect the nearest enemy unit to the player, and ideally the nearest unit of a certain type.  does anyone know of a command to do this.  the nearest i have found was the nearestobject command, but that doesnt seem to work on units.

You need command distance for that. Check official command reference for more info.
