typeof object ID doesn't work anymore?

[Blanco]

In OFP I always use this code to return the classname of an object on the map.

hint format ["%1",typeof (object xxxxxxx)

xxxxxxx is the ID. It doesn't work in Arma... 

Any ideas?

Object ID Help
Move to object

In short, the command object is not available in ArmA due to the streaming technology used..

Use typeOf nearestobject giving the closest position to the desired object.
