hey..

i have a watch tower with an my created optics.
i have add 4 section in the optics so they will be used as hidden selctions for the lasing.

i use this script to get the distance from the watch tower to the bullt..
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
_mg = _this select 0
_ammo = _this select 1;
_basename = "\gaza_obj\hud\n"
_type = _this select 4
_shell = nearestobject [_this select 0,_this select 4];

~2

_return =_mg distance _shell;

~.1

; Break the altitude into integers
_alt =_return
_a1 = (_alt - _alt mod 10000) / 10000
_a2 = (_alt mod 10000 - _alt mod 1000) / 1000
_a3 = (_alt mod 1000 - _alt mod 100) / 100
_a4 = (_alt mod 100 - _alt mod 10) / 10
_a5 = ((_alt mod 10) - _alt % 1)

_str = format["%1%2.pac", _basename, _a1]
_mg setobjecttexture[0, _str]
_str = format["%1%2.pac", _basename, _a2]
_mg setobjecttexture[1, _str]
_str = format["%1%2.pac", _basename, _a3]
_mg setobjecttexture[2, _str]
_str = format["%1%2.pac", _basename, _a4]
_mg setobjecttexture[3, _str]
_str = format["%1%2.pac", _basename, _a5]
_mg setobjecttexture[4, _str]

#HudOFF
_mg setobjecttexture[0, ""]
_mg setobjecttexture[1, ""]
_mg setobjecttexture[2, ""]
_mg setobjecttexture[3, ""]
_mg setobjecttexture[4, ""]

In the past, hidden selections only worked on things that were classed like vehicles (soldier is technically a vehicle too)

Is your watchtower a vehicle?
Need the named selections within cfgvehicles

pardon me if I am wrong, a lil rusty and Arma illiterate

Optics can not be accessed, they are not objects.

You _may_ be able to do this via the new HUD/MFD stuff. The biki has a page on it here:

Doubt it will work on the optics models, it has to be part of the vehicle model.
