Looking to see if a specific pup attachment is equipped

Hello
I am continuing work on PUP automaton ai and while I have a lot of the basics coded in the core I am stuck on one particular part. I would like to have some line of code that can see what attachments are equipped by the auto so I can generate an if/then statement. Right now I would like to be able to determine if Damage Gauge is equipped so I can place it in my code to determine threshold values for Cures. Thanks in advance.

there isn't one, of course!! you have to iterate the equipped attachments in automatonentity

Thanks. I'm not 100% sure how to go about doing this exactly but I'll give it a shot

just so you know, everything in ai_xxx is going to be blown away in a month or two as I finish the AI rewrite (which, one of the purposes was to make the automaton AI easier to implement)

The additions I made in ai_automaton are very basic to get pup casting and wsing so I hope I can apply similar changes when that does get revamped

there'll be a spot to put all the logic to decide "what to do" all in an obvious spot, so should be okay

I hate to ask but would you be able to help me create the iteration for checking for attachments in automatonentity?

loop over m_Equip.Attachments to see if one is set to the one you're looking for

Thanks, I think that is where i am having an issue. m_Equip.Attachments if I am correct looks at the slot id. Would it be best to create the the loop inside ai_automaton_dummy or in automatonentity?
Here is an example of ai_automaton_dummy:
Code: Select all
for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
if (m_Equip.Attachments[i] = 8643)
{
m_damageGauge = 1;
}
}
With the variable m_DamageGauge i can check for the value 1 or 0. Would this work?

inside automatonentity, because ai_automaton_dummy doesn't have the equipment as members. You'd also want to make it generic (take in the attachment id as a parameter) and return a boolean. then you can just call it from the ai
