int aw_object_query (void)

Description

Queries the world for an object.

Callback

AW_CALLBACK_OBJECT_QUERY

Notes

The object to be queried can be specified in two ways. This is the old method for doing it:

  • AW_OBJECT_X is set to x coordinate of object (in cm's).
  • AW_OBJECT_Z is set to z coordinate of object (in cm's).
  • AW_OBJECT_NUMBER is set to object number (only unique for objects in the same cell).

which is only unique to all objects within the same cell).

There is also new method which was introduced in version 4.1:

Arguments

None

AW_OBJECT_NUMBER
AW_OBJECT_X
AW_OBJECT_Z
AW_OBJECT_ID

Return values

RC_NOT_INITIALIZED (1)
RC_NO_INSTANCE (1)
RC_NO_CONNECTION (1)
The connection to the world is down.
RC_NO_SUCH_OBJECT (2)

Usage

void query_object (int number, int x, int z)
{
  int rc;
  
  aw_int_set (AW_OBJECT_NUMBER, number);
  aw_int_set (AW_OBJECT_X, x);
  aw_int_set (AW_OBJECT_Z, z);
  
  rc = aw_object_query ();
  if (rc != RC_SUCCESS)
    printf ("Object query failed (reason %d)\n", rc);
  else
    printf ("Object owner is %d\n", aw_int (AW_OBJECT_OWNER));
}

void query_object_by_id (int id)
{
  int rc;
  
  aw_int_set (AW_OBJECT_ID, id);
  aw_int_set (AW_OBJECT_NUMBER, 0);
  
  rc = aw_object_query ();
  if (rc != RC_SUCCESS)
    printf ("Object query failed (reason %d)\n", rc);
  else
    printf ("Object owner is %d\n", aw_int (AW_OBJECT_OWNER));
}
