Add returned value for IObject.SetMaxFire()

Last post by NearHuscarl « Thu Mar 24, 2022 7:45 pm

by NearHuscarl » Thu Mar 24, 2022 7:45 pm

Some objects can't be set on fire (like metal barrel or the green cabinet). I'd like to know whether or not the object is flammable.

var isSuccess = IObject.SetMaxFire()

If possible, I'd also want a way to forcely set any objects on fire:

IObject.SetMaxFire(force: true)

There's no way to currently test a player that connects to the server after the match has started, which makes it really painful to debug situations in which we want to handle player connections when a game is on going.

Bots can be added via the debug menu, but they have no User attached....

It'd be a great help if you can expose the ID of the player the bot is currently keeping track of when manually aiming. It'd remove the need of raycasting the player in range in my code, which is pretty costly performance-wise.

IObject.IsIndestructible

Last post by Danger Ross « Mon Mar 23, 2020 4:07 am

I would like to propose a read-only property of IObjects that allows us to differentiate destructible objects from map tiles. Without this distinction, it's impossible to tell between the two; dynamic objects are not always damageable ones and objects with one hitpoint aren't always indestructible.
