Can someone give me the function for detecting a bot death? I need it really badly.

EDIT: I need both when the bot is killed by another player, and when the bot just Self Deletes or something like that.

armor::onDisabled(%datablock, %object)

You'll have to check if %object is a bot, though.

Would that be checking if it was an AIPlayer? I don't know the datablock of a bot.

...I think.

Bots can use any datablock a player can. Use this to check if the object is a bot:
if(%obj.getClassName() $= "AIPlayer")

How do you detect the spawn that the bot was made on?

Check the content mod thing, it has if the vehicle is caught the vehicle gets respawned by the spawn.

Usually it will be %object.spawnBrick but some bots don't have this variable so you should make sure the spawnbrick exists before doing anything with it.

This code is seriously failing.

Code: [Select]

package TehFail
{
function armor::onDisabled(%datablock, %object)
{
	if(%obj.getClassName() $= "AIPlayer" || %obj.getClassName() $= "WheeledVehicle")
	{
		if(%obj.isBeingControlled == 1)
		{
			if(!%object.spawnBrick)
			{
				%client = %object.client;
				%this = %object.spawnBrick;
				if(!%client.mainP)
				{
					messageClient(%client,'',"Error: \c6Not in control of a bot.");
				}
				else
				{
					%clientz = %this.controller;
					%clientz.player = %clientz.mainP;
					%clientz.setControlObject(%clientz.mainP);
					%clientz.mainP = 0;
					%this.vehicle.isBeingControlled = 0;
					%this.onVehicleExitControl(%clientz);
					%this.vehicle.client = findClientByBL_ID(getBrickGroupFromObject(%this).bl_id);
					%this.controller = 0;
				}
			}
			else
			{
				%clientz = %object.client;
				%clientz.player = %clientz.mainP;
				%clientz.setControlObject(%clientz.mainP);
				%clientz.mainP = 0;
				messageClient(%client,'',"Error: \c6The bot spawn got deleted while you were controlling it.");
			}
		}
	}
	Parent::onDisabled(%datablock, %object);
}
};

What's wrong with this?

A: You're using %obj in some places and %object in others.
B: You're not activating the package (if you are you, left that line out).
C: You should change if(!%object.spawnBrick) to if(isObject(%object.spawnBrick)) as the spawnbrick could be deleted, but the variable would stay on the bot (although the bot would probably be deleted).

You may want to use %obj.getControllingClient() instead of a variable since you wouldn't need to use a variable to keep track of who's controlling the bot.
