Getting the actor type?

This is probably very obvious, but I just can't seem to crack it. I'm trying to get the actor type when the actor is destroyed ie ship, car, plane etc. here's what I tried

code removed by author

If you want to observer the individual ground actors use this:

Code:

public override void OnActorDestroyed(int missionNumber, string shortName, maddox.game.world.AiActor actor)

{

    if (actor is AiGroundActor)

    {

        AiGroundActor groundActor = actor as AiGroundActor;

        if (groundActor.Type() == AiGroundActorType.ShipTransport /* || groundActor.Type() == AiGroundActorType.ShipDestroyer || ... */)

        {

            GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Ship destroyed");

        }

    }

}

If you are interested in the complete ground group (e.g. a column or tank group) use this:

Code:

public override void OnActorDestroyed(int missionNumber, string shortName, maddox.game.world.AiActor actor)

{

    if (actor is AiGroundGroup)

    {

        AiGroundGroup groundGroup = actor as AiGroundGroup;

        if (groundGroup.GroupType() == AiGroundGroupType.Ship)

        {

            GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Ship destroyed");

        }

    }

}

Something like this:

Code:

if (actor != null)

{

  if (actor is AiAirGroup)

  {

    var airgrp = (AiAirGroup)actor;

    // processing air group

  }

  else if (actor is AiAircraft)

  {

    var aircft = (AiAircaft)actor;

    // processing aircraft

  }

  else

  {

     LogMessage("Destroyed unknown actor type: {0}", actor.GetType().Name);

  }

}

Real problem for me, is in ActorDead handler, to separate between actor killed / disapeared events. Has someone solution? :cool:

here comes pupo ressutecting the dead again.

As anyoen foudn a solution for what Octocat was asking?

i need to creat an exception for the actor destroyd, so that planes who are reflown dont count as destroyed.

All disapearing Actors are registered in
OnActorDestroyed(..)

If this was the Question.

No kodiak.

in my code i give points to teams on a plane his destroyed. yet the game also uses destroy to get rid of planes. so if i refly, the plane i refly gets caught by onactordestryed, and a kill is given to the enemy.

is there a way to avoid this?

You can use two events:

Code:

 public override void OnAircraftKilled(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiAircraft aircraft)

    {

        base.OnAircraftKilled(missionNumber, shortName, aircraft);

    }

and

Code:

    public override void OnActorDead(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiActor actor, List<DamagerScore> damages)

    {

        base.OnActorDead(missionNumber, shortName, actor, damages);

    }

On OnAircraftKilled is called when a plane is not longer flyable, for example if the pilot get killed or its too heavy damaged, but you get not the damager.

OnActorDead is called later after a plane is hitting the ground or a GroundActor or AiPerson or AiGroup (a Ships is an AiGroup) is killed. And you can check the damagers.

OnActorDestroyed is called every time a Actor is removed from the game, so its also called if a script removed a empty plane. So you should use OnAircraftKilled or OnActorDead.

thanks! that puts some light on waht each one does. i started by using onactordead, but its giving some issues with exception errors, so im tryign on aircraft killed, still not workin.... yet.

Also, since you are here ( :P ), im havign were a damaged plane, when landed is not destroyed.

code here

Quote:

public override void OnAircraftLanded(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiAircraft aircraft)
{
base.OnAircraftLanded(missionNumber, shortName, aircraft);

Player player = null;

int value = 0;

if (aircraft.Player(0) != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < aircraft.Places(); i++)
{
if (aircraft.Player(i) != null)
{
// TODO: Account for more than one player in an aircraft
player = aircraft.Player(i);
break;
}
}

if (player != null)

switch (player.Army())
{
case 1:
if (rafa.TryGetValue((aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName(), out value))
{
rafa[(aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()] = value + 1;
bluescore = bluescore - rafv[(aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()];
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "Welcome Home, {0} : saved!", new object[] { SplitName((aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()) }); // THIS MESSAGE IS STILL DISPLAYED!
Timeout(5, () =>
{ destroyPlane(aircraft); });

}

break;

case 2:
if (lwa.TryGetValue((aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName(), out value))
{
lwa[(aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()] = value + 1;
redscore = redscore - lwv[(aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()];
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter(new Player[] { player }, "Welcome Home, {0} : saved!", new object[] { SplitName((aircraft as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()) }); // THIS MESSAGE IS STILL DISPLAYED!
Timeout(5, () =>
{ destroyPlane(aircraft); });

}
break;

}
}
}

You would like to destoy a plane only if a player is present in that plane?
