I'm trying to search through acs actors to be able to change their activator, but don't know if I'm even doing it right.

Code: Select all

	ThinkerIterator thinkers = ThinkerIterator.Create("Thinker",STAT_SCRIPTS);
	Thinker ThinkerFilter;
	while (ThinkerFilter = Thinker(thinkers.Next()))
	{
	if (ThinkerFilter!=self)
	{
		if (ThinkerFilter.Owner && ThinkerFilter.Owner==oldactor)
		{
			ThinkerFilter.Owner = newactor;
		}
	}
}

It always comes up an error at ThinkerFIlter.Owner, so that's what I'm stuck at. I've tried activator too but that doesn't work. Anyone know what to use here? Oldactor works, but isn't in this part of the code.

From the source code, it looks like there is only one thinker per level that is used to run scripts (DACSThinker), and its iterface is not exposed to ZScript at all. Therefore, it is probably not possible do to what you want at the moment.

As for why your code errors out, it's simple - class Thinker does not have an Owner field.

Yes, there's only one thinker that runs and maintains all scripts. Changing the activator for a single script from ZScript is not possible.

Curses. There goes an unfixable bug. Thanks for the info.

If you told us what exactly you're trying to achieve, maybe we could still help. It's easier when the full context of the problem is known, because your original attempt might not be the only possible solution.
