-  * **startPos:** a V3 (vector3) indicating the point to search outwards from.\\ +
-  * **range:** a floating point number that is the maximum distance from startPos.\\ +
-  * **isSquare:** a boolean. It means to check in a square rather than a circle around startPos. For 3D checks, the vertical displacement is also checked (so the range is effectivly a cube rather than a sphere). **Note:** When isSquare is true, the search will also not use the unit's exact position to see if they are in range, but rather their hitbox (footprint & height). If any part of the hitbox crosses into the square, it will be selected.\\ +

-:!: **Note:** Due to some technicalities units which do not occupy any space will never be detected by this command. Whether a custom unit occupies space can be controlled through the CMOD Settings: **Settings > Basic > "occupies land"**+:!: **Note:** The difference between this API and [[GetUnits]] is that this method performs a search around the specified coordinates for any units that leave a footprint on the map by occupying space. This can be more performant than GetUnits in situations where a smaller area is being searched, but it comes with a downside that it won't find flying units, **or land units that are currently moving**. Units occupy space as soon as they begin descending at their target location, they do not have to have touched the ground yet. If you need a method to find units regardless of whether or not they are occupying space, use GetUnits. \\
