Title: check for gunner?
Post by: Messiah on 06 Feb 2005, 15:57:58

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  :)

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 ...

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.

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).
