Oxide - Solved - Name/ID of entities (per Instance)

Quenn1599

Is there a way to fetch/assign unique instance ID's to instances of entities (i.e. autoturrets and helicopters)?

EDIT: in fact is there a way to assign an instance ID to any object in the game?

EDIT 2: found ID field inside the base classes

FYI if you are using the instance IDs to persist anything past a server restart, you will discover that instance ID's are not the same after a server restart.

If not, disregard this reply. We are working on a solution to this issue I will hopefully have reliable examples soon.

Thanks for the notice, was about to start designing systems around using instance ID's between restarts

You can reliably find entity ownership using the EntityOwner or Building Owners API.

Obviously I would recommend using EntityOwner. But the APIs are identical for this purpose.

For use with EntityOwner:

Code:

string FindOwner(BaseEntity entity)
{
    object returnhook = null; 
    string ownerid = String.Empty;
    returnhook = EntityOwner?.Call("FindEntityData", entity);    if (returnhook != null)
    {
        if (!(returnhook is bool))
        {
            ownerid = Convert.ToString(returnhook);
        } 
    }     return ownerid;
}

For use with Building Owners:

Code:

string FindOwner(BaseEntity entity)
{
    object returnhook = null; 
    string ownerid = String.Empty;
    returnhook = EntityOwner?.Call("FindBlockData", entity);    if (returnhook != null)
    {
        if (!(returnhook is bool))
        {
            ownerid = Convert.ToString(returnhook);
        } 
    }     return ownerid;
}
