This article needs checking. |
Reason(s): Does it return a pointer to a resource or a resource object? |
This function retrieves the resource from which the function call was made.
Syntax
resource getThisResource ( )
Returns
Returns a resource object (or pointer?).
Example
This example performs a check to see if the resource started is the right one:
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), "onStartInScoresResource")
function onStartInScoresResource(resource)
local thisResource = getThisResource() -- get the resource that this script is a part of
if (resource == thisResource) then -- make sure the resource that started is the one this script is a part of
-- Note: without this check, the operations below would execute whenever ANY resource is loaded
-- perform some operations this script will be used for, in this case keeping track of player scores and money:
local players = getElementsByType("player")
for playerKey, playerValue in players do
setPlayerMoney(playerValue, 500)
setElementData(playerValue, "score", 0)
end
end
end
