OnPlaceEnter

Player interface...

I can't figure out how to determine it.

public override void OnPlaceEnter(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
{
        base.OnPlaceEnter(player, actor, placeIndex);

        GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, "{0} uses {1} Type {2}", new object[] { player.Name(), player.Place().Name(), (actor as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName() });
}

The example will shows following in chat with my callsign, Luftwaffe I/LG2 Nr.1 and a Ju-88A-1 as plane:
Kodiak uses 0:BoB_LW_LG2_I.000 Type bob:Aircraft.Ju-88A-1

player.Name() => player callsign
player.Place().Name() => 0:BoB_LW_LG2_I.000
(actor as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName() => bob:Aircraft.Ju-88A-1


You can get the actual playerplane with
AiAircraft airc1 = (AiAircraft)GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place();
also.

Thanks,

That'll probably do it. I'll try when I get home.

On a side note: What's the difference between AiAircraft.TypeName() and AiAircraft.InternalTypeName()?

TypedName() shows the tactical number of the plane.

Thanks!
