We experienced some issues with the following house-types since Nexus Update.
This issue obstruct our housing-system for some players.
Affected Houses:
On any other house the following reproduction checks work.
Open debug console and check:
_housetype = nearestbuilding (getpos player); hint str _housetype; returns other building near player
_housetype = (typeOf cursortarget); hint str _housetype; returns nothing
if(cursortarget iskindof "House_F") then {hint "yes"} else {hint "no"}; //returns no
Same as http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=26798.
Just for the record. The last repro example has the wrong syntax. It should be:
_checktype = cursortarget isKindOf "House_F"; hint str _checktype;
Works on houses created by script, have you got coordinates to where on the map you are testing it?
Altis, use for the exact Position:
"player setPos [4561.39,13309.2,0.0014801]; player setDir 206.876"
Use under watch:
First line: [str nearestbuilding (getpos player),cursortarget]
Second line: [typeOf nearestbuilding (getpos player),typeOf cursortarget]
cursorTarget is null,
nearestbuilding is not null
Confirmed, though nearestbuilding detects something else. nearestobject [player, "house"] seems to detect the correct house.
nearestTerrainObjects [position player, ["house"], 50]
seems to work as well
Hello there,
nearly every house on "Altis" with the mentioned classnames didn't work with named script-commands.
Will there be a fix to get those houses aimed with cursortarget? Otherwise I will do a workaround meanwhile.
Didn't know from nearestTerrainObjects. Maybe I'll give it a try, thanks.

"Will there be a fix to get those houses aimed with cursortarget?"
There will be a new scripting command "cursorObject" that should take care of this as "cursorTarget" is not quite suitable for this kind of detection by design.
I did an HUD addon showing a "nearestbuilding" icon. Could you fix this command, please? The aim is to avoid one more heavy code instead of a smart command.
In today's DEV nearestbuilding correctly returned the house shukari posted. Any other reproes where nearestbuilding fails?
