When passing in a high radius, the game can slow down to a halt for a while. Allowing the functions 'GetObjectsAtPosition' and 'GetObjectsAtPosition3D' to run a separate thread will add a much-needed improvement for many modders and server owners.
Easier to show what I think is needed than just writing it all down in words
typedef array<IEntity> TIEntityArray;
typedef array<CargoBase> TCargoBaseArray;
enum ObjectSearchType
{
S_BBOX,
S_CIRCLE, // same as CGame::GetObjectsAtPosition
S_SPHERE, // same as CGame::GetObjectsAtPosition3D
};
class ObjectParams
{
vector position; // position
float radius; // specified radius
typename inheritance = IEntity; // finds all objects that inherit from this script typename
ObjectSearchType type;
};
class ObjectResult
{
TIEntityArray objects; // so we can get more than just objects
TCargoBaseArray proxyCargos;
};
class ObjectCallback
{
void OnFinishSearch(ObjectResult result);
};
class CGame
{
proto native void GetObjects(ObjectParams params, ObjectCallback callback);
};
