Helicopter IsActive?

Hello everyone, tell me please, what I'm doing wrong, I want to check whether the helicopter is active at the moment or not.

Code:

var heli = (BaseHelicopter)GameManager.server.CreateEntity("assets/prefabs/npc/patrol helicopter/patrolhelicopter.prefab", new Vector3(), new Quaternion(), true);            if (heli.IsActive)
            {
                SendReply(player, GetMessage("Helicopter already active"));
                return;
            }

When I try to call at least one helicopter, IsActive does not let me do it.

 

Code:

BaseHelicopter heli = (BaseHelicopter)GameManager.server.CreateEntity("assets/prefabs/npc/patrol helicopter/patrolhelicopter.prefab", new Vector3(), new Quaternion(), true);
if (heli != null)
{
    SendReply(player, GetMessage("Helicopter already active"));
    return;
}

 

Absolutely not that

 

What your code should do?

If you need to control the heli entity, make global Hash or global List and add heli to this list when heli was created, remove heli from Hash or List when entity was destroyed.

The you can check heli by this list.

 

Well, look, I made the plugin when I drop the supply, the helicopter arrives to patrol this area.
Now I do not understand what I'm doing wrong, because I had a similar code in another place

Code:

private void OnExplosiveDropped(BasePlayer player, BaseEntity entity)
        {
            var item = player.GetActiveItem();
            if (player == null || item == null)
                return;            if (!_supplys.Contains(item.uid))
                return;            _supplys.Remove(item.uid);
            SaveData();            InvokeHandler.CancelInvoke(entity.GetComponent<MonoBehaviour>(), new Action((entity as SupplySignal).Explode));            var heli = (BaseHelicopter)GameManager.server.CreateEntity("assets/prefabs/npc/patrol helicopter/patrolhelicopter.prefab", new Vector3(), new Quaternion(), true);            if (heli.IsActive)
            {
                SendReply(player, GetMessage("Helicopter already active"));
                return;
            }            CallHeli(entity.GetDropPosition() + new Vector3(0, 20f, 0));            SendReply(player, GetMessage("Use supply"));
        }

        // Remove heli from list
        void OnEntityKill(BaseNetworkable AEntity) {
            if(AEntity == null) return;
            if(!(AEntity is BaseHelicopter)) return;            // Search heli in list, stop if not in list
            HelicopterItem LTmpValue;
            if(FHelicopters.TryGetValue(AEntity as BaseHelicopter, out LTmpValue) == false) return;            // Remove heli from list
            FHelicopters.Remove(AEntity as BaseHelicopter);
        }
    }
}

Something like this...

 

Thanks for the help, figured out.
