 |
|
Hi, all. I am pretty new to NWNX, but I love it increasingly. One function I missed turned out to be rather easy to make, so I post it here, if somone has not thought of it. Enjoy:
//--- prGetUseNWNX -------------------------------------------------------------
//Returns TRUE if NWNX is running, otherwise returns FALSE
int prGetUseNWNX() {
return (NWNXFuncs_GetAreaCount()>0); //All modules have at least 1 area.
} //--- end prGetUseNWNX ------------------------------------------------------- |

| Where exactly you call that? I use some external call to nwn? There won't be any bridge open if module is not running. |

Correct me if im wrong.
NWNXFuncs_GetAreaCount() is a member of nwnx_funcs
Surely that only detects if the server has nwnx_funcs available.
Arguably, GetAreaCount is a bad one to use, since in the background it counts the total areas - which could theoretically be hundreds of areas.
Surely
GetFirstArea() would be a better choice (if you are going with a nwnx_funcs) since it relies upon a single area.
It would theoretically run faster than GetAreaCount.
| Code: |
int IsRunningNWNXFuncs()
{
return NWNXFuncs_GetFirstArea() != OBJECT_INVALID;
}
|
If nwnx_funcs is not installed, the method will return OBJECT_INVALID, so by checking it does not equal OBJECT_INVALID, we will know if nwnx_funcs is installed. |

no, area count is stored in memory and the plugin only read that number, it does not loop anything and even if it would, nwnx-code is way efficient than anything in nwscript anyway
but you are right this only checks whether nwnx_funcs is in use, however if you are using nwnx_funcs and nwnx_funcs is running then you can assume nwnx is running.
