specifying pawn location by ID

[JMass]

Can anyone tell me when I a have a pawn ID in a variable ${anID} how I refer the its location? Would it be ${Pawn[${anID}].Location} ?

I am trying to put together an atom that will log all the pawns I run across with thier location. The onPawnSpawned event returns the four variables that are passed to this atom below. I would also like to log the location. But I am uncertain how to refer to the location of a particular pawn when I have its ID.

My goal is like below in that I was to echo/log the location.

Thank you very much.

atom(script) SpawnLog_onPawnSpawned(string anID, string aName, string aLevel, string aType)
{
	echo "Pawn Spawned: ${aName} (${anID}) :: ${aLevel} :: ${aType} chunk: ${Me.Chunk} ${Pawn[${anID}].Location}"
}

${Pawn[].X} and ${Pawn[].Y}

Thank you Shaba.

What I am trying to figure out is how to reference pawns as they spawn to collect more information about them than what is provided in the onPawnSpawned event.

Anything I have tried putting the in brackets for ${Pawn[].X} ${Pawn[].Y} or ${Pawn[].Location} results in NULL. I cannot use Me.xxx I am assuming because I am not targeting them.

this is the stuff you want to be putting in the brackets. For instance: ${Pawn[id,${anID}].X}



On another note, if you asked nicely, I think Amadeus could add those parameters to the Event, so that the Pawn's X and Y would be included.

Whoot! Thank you, that worked perfectly. I had looked right at examples of that being used but was thinking the commas were separating parameter types.

Related to /location. From the HUD examples on the Inner Space website I saw that I can add a constantly updated me.location on my hud.

hud -add loc 20,65 X ${Me.X} Y ${Me.Y}

Do you know if I can get .Difficulty of a pawn when outside of combat so I can view the number of dots? ${Pawn[id,${anID}].Difficulty} returns NULL

The page:
http://vg.isxgames.com/wiki/index.php?title=Combatnpc_(Data_Type)

shows it is available when in combat but it is not listed as a pawn search parameter.

 

[Amadeus]

No, the client has no need to know the number of dots on a mob until you target it. Therefore, to get the difficulty, you'll have to target it, then do:

${Me.TargetAsEncounter.Difficulty}

Thank you Amadeus. That makes sense.
