Id love a function that allows you to call something like
ObjectConfirm(Number, Model, Description, Action,X,Y,Z,YAW) on a object and
have the SDK return if that object given is in existance and at the given
coords etc

Why don't you write the function, and put it in a library... Distribute
it.... That way you can use it just like you would a SDK function. Just
include your liberary, and call the function from it........

Better yet... Write the function in c or C++, make sure it's clean and good
code. Then e-mail it to the dev team. After reviewing it, maybe they'll add
it the SDK.... That's all they'd do anyway. They'd write a function that
relies the other SDK functions that are already in place....

Since the lowest precicision you can get at the moment is cell level (I
think the reasons why are clear to most), the best you can do with the SDK
as it stands is to query a single cell using aw_cell_next. Unfortunately,
this isn't a real-time facility and has to
be used asynchronously, looking at the whole cell contents for the object
you're searching for so you can only really put a nasty loop in the code
until either the object is found or the cell is complete. Demeter does this
a lot with a "fire and forget" query from the cache as someone that has an
enabled terrain session approaches a cell its unaware of so that it can
maintain a record of "confirmed" terrain markers for speed.

If you're interested, this is a simple function to build an AW_CELL_ITERATOR
value for use with aw_cell_next for a specific cell (in VB - its even easier
in C). Just build the iterator, set the AW_CELL_COMBINE flag if you want to
(depends how many you're going to do and where the objects are in respect to
eachother) and call aw_cell_next. You might find a way to use it.

Public Function AWBuildCellIterator(ByVal CellX As Long, ByVal CellZ As
Long) As Long

AWBuildCellIterator = "&H" & Right("0000" & Hex(CellX), 4) &
Right("0000" & Hex(CellZ), 4)

End Function

Thanks :) Its a pitty that there is no real time action, like being able to
save to cache and only been show the updates like in aw
