How do I "getSelectedObject()"?

#1 Ok, after messing with this ALL day, all I had to do for this to work with AI Players:

Open aiPlayers.cs (found in my server/scripts/ folder).

Add to the end:

function AIPlayer::onUse()
{
 echo("THIS WORKS!!");
}

This is AWESOME, however, it does not work so easily with static meshes. Back to digging!

#2 Also, instead of calling OnUse, you can simply do either %this.getSelectedObject() or %player.getSelectedObject(). It will return the object and you can work with it from there.

#3 Are you sure? I have tried using "getSelectedObject()" MANY times in MANY places and it keeps saying "unknown command".

#4 Are you calling the getSelectedObject() alone, or as follows:

function serverCmdBap(%client)
{
   %player = %client.player;
   %target = %client.getSelectedObj();

 <snipped irrelevant script>
}

That's what I use, and it works just fine. If it still errors when you do that, maybe double-check that the function is exposed to script?

#5 I tried both. Can't get either to do anything.

I did come up with my own way of selecting things tho. Since this is an RPG and I am using the FPS as my base, I gave the characters "invisible guns" that shoot invisible bullets with a mere 6 foot range. If they hit something that I previously marked "canUse", then it uses that object. :D

#6 Clever =)
