Detecting type

[Iva]

Is there a way to get type of soldier whic has entered the vehicle

[m21man]

Yes, it should be possible. Have a script monitor a vehicle's crewcount, then when it raises use the counttype command to find out what type the new unit is.

[MI_Fred]

The crewcount monitoring if a good idea, but counttype would only return the count. Instead use typeOf. Here's one way:

#start
_crewcount = (count crew vehicleName)
@ (_crewcount != (count crew vehicleName))
_newCrew = (crew vehicleName) select ((count crew vehicleName)-1)
_newCrewType = typeOf _newCrew
goto "start"

That would ofcourse create lag as much as you have vehicles running that .5 second "loop".

I've never seen typeof in the ComRef :hmm: .

I've never seen typeof in the ComRef

Introduced in one of the resistance patches, I think it was 1.90 or 1.91 ...

That makes my life a bit easier. What's the syntax for it?

Syntax: typeof "nameofvehicle"

Hope this helps
