They are different types so it is expected I guess.

Its a problem indeed, GroundWeaponHolder should be returned by entities command.

vehicles, entities, nearEntities do not pick up GroundWeaponHolder.

nearObjects and nearestObjects do pick up GroundWeaponHolder.

It seems that entities and nearEntities pick up everything in "ReammoBox_F" but not "ReammoBox". Legacy issue? GroundWeaponHolder falls under ReammoBox whereas most of Arma 3 crates are in ReammoBox_F.

Two interim workarounds to this issue:

1. nearObjects is not so costly afterall e.g.

systemChat str count (position player nearObjects ["GroundWeaponHolder",10000000]) doesnt seem to cost any more if the range value is lower. Perhaps, the function has to loop through the entire object space anyway to work out distance to the reference position. Still, its a cost to have to work out the distance.

2. get the client to tell the server that a GroundWeaponHolder is created and have the server clean up the GroundWeaponHolder after a certain delay.

player addEventHandler ["Put",{
private ["_container"];
_container = _this select 1;
if (_container isKindOf "GroundWeaponHolder") then {

		
		serverRegisterGWH = _container;
		publicVariableServer "serverDespawnGWH";

};
}];

"serverDespawnGWH" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
[_this select 1] spawn {

		private ["_obj"];
		_obj = _this select 0;
		sleep 120;
		if (!isNull _obj) then { deleteVehicle _obj; };

};
};

Or you can use allMissionObjects "GroundWeaponHolder" which is fairly slow by might be better than nearObjects.

allMissionObjects is more elegant :)

Its ok to close this.

Its still a problem, using allMissionObjects is bad approach because it is VERY slow command unlike entities or vehicles.

Yes true.

6 years later and its still an issue.

I guess this can be resolved as we now have allObjects?
