ok, if I use this code:

   
 public override void OnAircraftTookOff(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiAircraft aircraft)
    {
        #region stats
        base.OnAircraftTookOff(missionNumber, shortName, aircraft);
        try
        {
            stats.aircraftTakeoff(shortName, aircraft);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine("Stats.OnAircraftTookOff - Exception: " + ex);
        }

       #endregion

        sendChatMessageTo(aircraft.Army(), " _79_dev has a problem", null);

            //add your code here
    }

console gives me error anyway????

@ kodiak, been noticing that with lists they tend to grow ever larger, in this case Consigness grows larger every time a sendChatMessage is called. A player name is added many times, old players who have left stay in the list.

So added in "Consignees.Clear();" , do you think this effective addition, and in the right place?

private void sendChatMessage(int army, string msg, params object[] args)
    {
        Consignees.Clear();
        List<Player> Consignees = new List<Player>();
        if (GamePlay.gpPlayer() != null)
            Consignees.Add(GamePlay.gpPlayer());
        if (GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers() != null)
            Consignees.AddRange(GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers());

        if (army == -1)
            GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, msg, args);
        else if (Consignees.Exists(item => item.Army() == army))
            GamePlay.gpLogServer(Consignees.FindAll(item => item.Army() == army).ToArray(), msg, args);
    }

The List is not global nor unmanaged nor static, it's exist only in this method (local) and is deleted after the method is leaved (the destructor of the class is automaticaly called), so no Clear is needed.
And if Clear would needed it should be in this case on end of method.

(In your parser-problem the List is global and only deleted after the mission is ended. Thats the difference )

Thanks, good explination.

I have a relervant question, but will ask in new thread.

[_79_dev]

Thanks for help, got it sorted out now. Just had to call methods for sendChatMessage, that was missing in original code ...
