GetEMCON?

[vonotha]

There is SetEMCON function. But what about GetEMCON?

Context: SetEMCON can be used to both activate and deactivate the radar. However, there is no (easy) way for checking what is the current state of the radar.

Mmm. I'll look to see if that can be added to the SE_GetDoctrine() as that should be where it is. There is code for it but it wasn't implemented; probably an oversight on my part.

Thanks in advance!

Just to clarify, I was thinking about individual units rather than all the side units. In my mind, Doctrine applies to a side.

Should be in build 1307.1+ now

Great! Hope more users will find it useful

Till the time we get 'GetEMCON", a solution for checking EMCON state I've been using:

Code: Select all

function GetActiveSensors( unit_guid )
	unit = ScenEdit_GetUnit({guid=unit_guid})

	active_sensors = {}

	for k, v in pairs(unit.sensors) do
		if v.sensor_isactive then 
			table.insert(active_sensors, v)
		end
	end

	return active_sensors
end
-- example:
-- {name='Radar (Big Bird D [91N6])', guid='C5TQUD-0HMO3V8H0RBCQ'}
-- unit_guid = 'C5TQUD-0HMO3V8H0RBCQ'
-- print(GetActiveSensors(unit_guid))
-- [91N6]', sensor_isactive = 'Yes', sensor_maxrange = 325, sensor_type = 2001 } }

-- returns true / false
function IsActive( unit_guid )
    res = false
    active_sensors = GetActiveSensors(unit_guid)
    if array_len(active_sensors) > 0 then
        res = true
    end
    return res
end

where array_len:

Code: Select all

--- array_len - table.getn/maxn equivalent
function array_len(array)
	n = 0
	for i, x in ipairs(array) do
		n = n+1
	end
	return n
end
