Detecting the mission editor?

#1 C++: gEditingMission

TorqueScript: none that I know of, although you could easily add one, probably the best place is the function toggleEditor(). That, or you could expose the C++ variable.

#2 Like Novak said, you could easily add a script function like:

function isEditorOpen()
{
   // Check if World Editor is open
   if(Canvas.getContent() == EditorGui.getId())
      return true;

   // Check if Gui Editor is open
   if(Canvas.getContent() == GuiEditorGui.getId())
      return true;

   // No editor was open
   return false;
}

#3 Thanks! Yeah I dug into the function calls for toggleEditor and Editor.open, and the function that Ryan wrote is pretty much exactly what I created.

Of course, nothing is ever as easy as it seems. The canvas and the editor are all on the client side, and the scripts are on the server side, so what I ended up doing was when the editor is opened, it sends a command to the server to terminate the AI's, which in turns runs through all of AI scripts and executes a terminate command on them. So in a multi-user situation, if any client opens the editor, the plug is pulled on the AI's for all of them.

Pretty useful actually. Who wants mobs hacking at my player while I'm trying to get this tree rotated just right..
