Just wondering how does an element check the ctype/life/tmp, etc... of itself I'm making a force field element here's my current code:

//#TPT-Directive ElementHeader Element_FFLD static int update(UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS)
int Element_FFLD::update(UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS)
{
   int r, rx, ry;
   int temp = Temperature;
   for(rx = -1; rx<2;rx++)
       for(ry=-1;ry<2;ry++)
           if(BOUNDS_CHECK)
           {
           r = pmap[y+ry][x+rx];
           if (!r || (r&0xFF) == PT_FFLD)
               r = sim->photons[y+ry][x+rx];
           if (!r)
               continue;
                //CHECK TMP HERE SO IT CAN DO DIFFRENT EFFECTS
                   parts[r>>8].type = FIRE;

           }
       }
   return 0;
}

try

this->partProperty

Could you please give me an example of how it's used? I'm new

I'm not an expert, it's probably actually sim.

EDIT: parts[i].tmp

is the value. I'm more into lua

EDIT again: so erm, if(parts[i].tmp == 0) {

// do stuff

}

EDIT again...: i is the index of the currect particle.

If you want to check the index of the other particle, you can use parts[r>>8].tmp.

Also never directly set .type, that causes bugs. You can do sim->part_change_type(...) or sim->create_part(r>>8, ...) instead.

Thanks

Also anyone know how to debug (run without compiling) in visual studio 2013)

As in which file to open to run with
