Actor keys help

[Smokeynz]

@salmo, If you inspecting the actors to try and test for if they exist in the mission, using this I think we may bypass the null points I keep striking in other thread about testing actors for null.

In the add to list, you may need missionnumber aswell for repeats of the same mission where you will get the same actor shortname repeated. Then look for all 3 parameters.

btw I've just been working on list handling and found a simple way to find the index number of a line listing, with that you can ask for the item contents or delete the line etc.

int indexnm; // declare an int for the index number

Then search for bob as actor name in the example following, I havent done it yet, but im sure you could also look for mission,shortname and actor in one line since that is specific in one case only where as you might find several "bob" references.

indexnm = list.FindIndex(r => r.shortName.Equals("bob"));

Once you have the indexnumber you can report/manupulate the info and any other entry on that line by refering to the indexnumber

sendChatMessageTo(-1, "shortName: " + list[indexnm].shortName);
