 Pointer to Attachables Is there any known way to find an attachable when its not the scripted object? I added this script to the Coalition Heavy: Code: function Update(self)
for attachable in MovableMan.Particles do
if attachable.ClassName == "Attachable" then
if attachable:IsAttached() then
print(attachable.PresetName)
end
end
end
end
I start a skirmish and nothing shows up in the console, ever. Is there something I'm missing or is this currently impossible? EDIT: It seemed to have passed the ClassName check but then it tells me that ::IsAttached() isnt a function.

Re: Pointer to Attachables That seems a little redundant.
Why would we have seperate functions for something thats only meant for actors?

Re: Pointer to Attachables I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but if you wanted to find the head of the AHuman "TargetActor" in B24 you would have to use one of Mail's tricks: Code: local MoObj
for i = 1, MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
if MovableMan:GetRootMOID(i) == TargetActor.ID then -- this MO has a root ID so we know it is an attachable. and it belongs to TargetActor since the IDs match
MoObj = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i)
if MoObj.PresetName == "The Name of the Head" then
self.Head = ToAttachable(MoObj)
break
end
end
end Now you can just do this:

Re: Pointer to Attachables Well its useful for actors but only actors, I was hoping for the attachable functions to work with Chestplates or Helmets and whatnot.

Re: Pointer to Attachables If the attachable is a Movable Object with GetsHitByMOs set to 1 you can still use Mail's method described above.

Re: Pointer to Attachables I'm talking about these.Those functions dont work with any kind of MO. Only the AHuman's, it seems.

Re: Pointer to Attachables It is probably because you have the wrong pointer type. Try casting the pointer before you try to access those functions: Code: -- find the attachable and store it in "Armor"
...
if Armor.ClassName == "Attachable" then
Armor = ToAttachable(Armor)
Armor:Detach() -- should work now
end

Re: Pointer to Attachables Nope,
unless the attachable is not attached to anything then it picks it up, if it is attached, then nothing.

Re: Pointer to Attachables Attach this to a Coalition "Soldier Light". Code: function Create(self)
local MoObj
for i = 1, MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
if MovableMan:GetRootMOID(i) == self.ID then
MoObj = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i)
if MoObj.PresetName == "Soldier Helmet A" then
self.Helmet = ToAttachable(MoObj)
break
end
end
end
end
function Update(self)
if self.Helmet then
if self.Helmet:IsAttached() then -- check if the pointer is safe to access
self.Helmet:Detach()
else
self.Helmet = nil
end
end
end

Re: Pointer to Attachables That does work.
Looking at that script I think I didn't get it to work is because I did it all in one frame update, or attachables are not listed in MovableMan.Particles.
Anyhow, thanks for your help. I'll be playing around with this some more to see what works and what doesn't.
