• arCenter: Reference to use as a center to search from
• afRadius: Maximum distance from center to look for a reference

Return Value

The closest reference found, none if none.

Examples

; Find the closest diamond reference to the player, limiting the search to 5 units
ObjectReference closestDiamond = Game.FindClosestReferenceOfTypeFromRef(Diamond, Game.GetPlayer(), 5.0)

Event OnEffectStart(Actor Target, Actor Caster)
	CastFromHereRef = Caster
	closestDoor  = Game.FindClosestReferenceOfTypeFromRef(WRShackDoor01, CastFromHereRef, RadiusToFindDoor )

	if ( closestDoor == None) 
		Debug.Notification("There is no shack door near!")
	else
		if( closestDoor.isLocked() )
			Debug.Notification("Opening door!")
			closestDoor.Lock(false)
		else
			Debug.Notification("The door is not locked!")
		endif	
	endif
EndEvent

Notes

• If the ObjectReference arCenter is of the same type as arBaseObject, this function will return arCenter. That is to say that this function does not exclude arCenter from it's search.
