Object.GetNearbyObjects

    Format:

    (1) Object.GetNearbyObjects( ObjectTable, TypeName, SearchDistance )

    (2) Object.GetNearbyObjects( ObjectName, TypeName, SearchDistance )

            - Use to get the "objectName" table

    (3) Object.GetNearbyObjects( TypeName, SearchDistance )

            - Used to on the "me" table

    (4) objectTable.GetNearbyObjects( TypeName, SearchDistance )

            

    Gets a table of all entities of type TypeName that are within SearchDistance of the calling object.

    In format 4, objectTable can refer to a return object's table or the "this" table (for the object the script is running

        on). For example, this.GetNearbyObjects( "Guard", 50.0 )

    

    ObjectTable/ObjectName:     Optional. The table/name of an Object. Defaults to the object the script is running on.

    TypeName:                   Required. The type of entity to search for.

    SearchDistance:             Required. The distance from this scripted object to search within.

    

    Returns:        A table of object tables and their distance to the calling object.

                    N.B. Both name and distance values will be returned as strings.

____________________________________________

Let's say you have a scripted object, using (4) objectTable.GetNearbyObjects( TypeName, SearchDistance ) will not fetch objects of TypeName.
