check for gunner?

[Messiah]

i was wondering if it was possible to check if a vehicle has a gunner... i went through the command reference and didnt really find anything.... i tried to search these forums, but no luck...

i need it for an init.sqs to check of a vehicle is either empty (only has gunner place) or maned from the start.

cheers

Code: [Select]

isNull gunner vehicle perhaps?

[Messiah]

would that return if there was or wasnt a gunner?

[redgun]

gunner vehicle

returns who's gunner in a vehicle.
you've just to find out which value is returned when nobody is in there.

maybe objNull

so it would look like that


?(gunner veh1 == objNull): bla bla ...

[MachoMan]

No redgun that won't work!

From the comref:

objNull

Type of returned value:
Object
Description:
non-existing object. This values is not equal to anything, even to itself.

Me still thinks Mesiah should test my idea.

Edit:

Hmm perhaps it will cause the example is:

Example:
player == objNull

Darn confusing comref.

id agree, id try;

?isNull (gunner vehicle):hint "We Need A Shooter Over Here"

[Grizzlie]

Maybe "alive gunner veh" ?

Why keep guessing? Test your assumptions before posting and just solve the problem and answer the question. And here it is:

Code: [Select]

isNull gunner somevehiclewill return the value true if the vehicle has a gunner. It will return false if the vehicle has no gunner.

If the vehicle itself isn't even equipped with a gunner position (like a civilian car) that test still works (result is false, obviously).
