Mission Menu and Ambulance

[fearlessfrog]

I spent a short bit of time looking at the new Beta API for a 'Mission Menu' and figuring out how to direct traffic. When you crash you can call for an ambulance.

Details and test mission download here:

The interesting part of the script is here:

else if (menuItemIndex == 6)
      {
          GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Ambulance Dispatched!");

          Player[] all = { player };

          AiActor amb = GamePlay.gpActorByName("0_Chief"); // Our ambulance, defined as 
first vehicle in mission
          if (amb != null)
          {
              AiGroup g = (AiGroup)amb; // Everything with waypoints is always in groups
              AiWayPoint[] waypoints = g.GetWay(); // Get the waypoints it had

              foreach (AiWayPoint waypoint in waypoints)
              {
                  //GamePlay.gpLogServer(all, "waypoint: x=" + waypoint.P.x.ToString() + " y=" + 
waypoint.P.y.ToString(), null);
                  x = waypoint.P.x;
                  y = waypoint.P.y;
                  z = waypoint.P.z; // Remember this for late, as we need a good height from somewhere
              }

              Player me = GamePlay.gpPlayer();
              AiActor where = me.Place();
              Point3d pos = where.Pos(); // Get our position, i.e. where to send the ambulance
              Point3d target = new Point3d(pos.x, pos.y, z); // Set our target to be us

              //GamePlay.gpLogServer(all, "me: x=" + pos.x.ToString() + " y=" + pos.y.ToString()
 + " z=" + pos.z.ToString(), null);

              // Note: Set the z height to be the last waypoint height rather than it's real height, 
Pos seems a PoS
              Point3d last_known = new Point3d(amb.Pos().x, amb.Pos().y, z);

              AiGroundWayPoint[] newWaypoints = { new AiGroundWayPoint(ref last_known, 50.0, 0.0, 10.0),                                                    
                                                    new AiGroundWayPoint(ref target, 50.0, 0.0, 10.0) };

              g.SetWay(newWaypoints); // Off we go, on new route!

              AiWayPoint[] resetWaypoints = g.GetWay(); // Just diagnostics, i.e. can be removed
 but basically to check they took
              foreach (AiWayPoint waypoint in resetWaypoints)
              {
                  //GamePlay.gpLogServer(all, "New waypoint: x=" + waypoint.P.x.ToString() + " y="
 + waypoint.P.y.ToString(), null);
              }

          }
          setMainMenu(player);
      }

Hope that helps put someone on the right spline.
