GetNetID

(development version f5ceaaf only) int GetNetID (int tid, int index [, int pointer]);

Usage

This function is primarily used in conjunction with SetActivatorByNetID to get a specific actor's network ID. See this page for more information.

All actors with the specific TID are iterated through, regardless of what they are, alive or dead.

NOTE: Avoid using this to find out how many actors have a specific TID. Internally, this iterates through the internal actors every time this function is called up until it reaches the defined index, which can impact performance especially with a large index, if the number of actors with that TID is large.

Parameters

• tid: The thing's ID number to look through. If 0, gets the activator of the script if any.
• index: Specifies the index of the internal array. This is based on which actors gain 'tid' first. Ignored if TID is 0.
• pointer: An actor pointer. If an actor is found, attempts to get the net ID of the pointer if applicable. If the pointed actor doesn't exist, uses the found actor.

Return value

Returns the network ID of an actor, or 0 if nothing is found.
