# allMissionObjects

*Command · Object Detection · Arma 3 v0.50 · introduced in Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead v1.57*

## Description

Returns all objects of the given type that are currently present in the mission. In some cases, the [entities](../commands/entities.md) and [allObjects](../commands/allObjects.md) commands are much faster alternatives to this command.

Some of the special types that can be detected with this command (and with [nearestObject](../commands/nearestObject.md)):
- `""` - returns everything, e.g. agents, bees, mosquitoes, footprints, armed mines, ...
- `"all"` - more restrictive than `""`: no ambient insects, only agents such as rabbits and snakes, no footprints, tracks, no armed mines
- `"#slop"` - blood drops
- `"#mark"` - unit footprints
- `"#track"` - vehicle tracks
- `"#crater"` - explosion craters on the ground
- `"#crateronvehicle"` - bullet marks on vehicles
- `"#explosion"` - explosions
- `"#objectdestructed"` - building, tree or bush destruction
- `"#soundonvehicle"` - sounds created with [say3D](../commands/say3D.md) for example
- `"#dynamicsound"` - sound sources created using [createSoundSource](../commands/createSoundSource.md)
- `"EmptyDetector"` - all Triggers
- `"Logic"` - all game logics

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This command is quite performance heavy. Use with caution!
