Getting BuildingPrivildge from cupboard?

Hey.

Basically, I'm trying to get the BuildingPrivilidge from a cupboard so I can get a list of all auth'ed players on the cupboard.

Here is the code I have so far:

Code:

object closestEnt;
Vector3 closestHit;
Quaternion rot = Quaternion.Euler((serverinput.GetValue(player) as InputState).current.aimAngles);
TryGetClosestRayPoint(player.transform.position, rot, out closestEnt, out closestHit);

This code basically drwas a Raycast from the player in the direction they're looking, and returns the entity hit and the location of the entity hit.

How would I get the BuildingPrivilidge from the closestEnt, checking the closestEnt was infact a tool cupboard?

I'm asking for the BuildingPrivilidge specifically as this contains a list of PlayerNameID (a class containing the player nickname and user id), called authorizedPlayers.

Code:

public List<PlayerNameID> authorizedPlayers = new List<PlayerNameID>();

Any ideas?

 

Code:

object GetAuthList(BaseEntity cupboard){
            if(cupboard is BuildingPrivlidge){
                var bpriv = entity as BuildingPrivlidge;
                if(bpriv == null) return null;
                else return bpriv.authorizedPlayers.ToList();
            }
            return null;
        }
List<ulong> players = new List<ulong>();
players = GetAuthList(entity);

Or if you just want the BuildingPrivlidge Type:

Code:

        BuildingPrivlidge GetBuildingPriv(BaseEntity cupboard, List<ulong> authList){
            if(cupboard is BuildingPrivlidge){
                return cupboard as BuildingPrivlidge;
            }
            return null;
        }

*if that doesnt work:

Code:

        object GetBuildingPriv(BaseEntity cupboard, List<ulong> authList){
            if(cupboard is BuildingPrivlidge){
                return cupboard as BuildingPrivlidge;
            }
            return null;
        }

 

I had some code something along these lines, however it would always return a NullReferenceException.

It turns out, this was actually because of the way I was using the raycast. The raycast would return an object of type Collider, rather than a BaseEntity. This is why it seemed to refuse to play nicely with any of the code I was testing. I fixed this by using code, albeit slightly modified, from the Prod plugin, as follows:

Code:

BaseEntity DoRay(Vector3 Pos, Vector3 Aim)
        {
            var hits = UnityEngine.Physics.RaycastAll(Pos, Aim);
            float distance = 100000f;
            BaseEntity target = null;
            foreach (var hit in hits)
            {
                if (hit.collider != null && isPluginDev && dumpAll)
                    Dump(hit.GetEntity());
                if (hit.distance < distance)
                {
                    distance = hit.distance;
                    target = hit.GetEntity();
                }
            }
            return target;
        }

Admin, please mark this thread as solved.

 

Yeah. A bunch of plugins have examples of the raycast, eye detection stuff. Such as prod, old remover tool versions, and my smarthomes plugin.
