Title: How to get a classname from an ID
Post by: Nico [BOS] on 11 Nov 2009, 22:47:36

Hello,

I need to find the name (cfgVehicles) of this object :
(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8875/transfoq.th.jpg) (http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8875/transfoq.jpg)
It can be seen on Chernarus :

124 028, with ID 95494,
045 129, with ID 344585.

on Utes :

043 018, with ID 10548.

I tried to display the name with this little script :

Code: [Select]

_obj = ([0,0,0] nearestObject ID);
sleep 1;
hint format ["%1", (typeOf _obj)];

But it doesn't work with those ID.

So, do you know the name of this object or do you have an other way to display it ?

Thank You :)

Put yourself near the object and then run this code...

_nObject = getPos player nearestObject 10548;
hint format ["%1", (typeOf _nObject )];

You need to be within 50 meters.

Thank you but it doesn't work. Even if I am very close to the object.

This works for me.. by putting in a radio trigger...

Code: [Select]

nObject = getPos player nearestObject 95494; hint format ["%1", nobject];
I suspect because this object is an island object it isn't able to return the typeOF because there is no config definition for it.

It has no classname, as hoz suspected it has no config entry anywhere, its model name is powlines_transformer1.p3d.

Ok, like I can't use a creatVehicle on this object or check if it's alive or not, I found an other way to continue my mission.

Thanks a lot :)

You can still check on the health of the object.

ObjLocal = nameofsomeyouplaced;
nObject = getPos ObjLocal nearestObject 95494;
hint format ["%1",getdammage nObject];
