How can I safely test an object ID?
A mission object (transportPallet) will be deleted at mission end. Test with "getParent(objectID)" then gives a call stack error.
I tried with "g_currentMission:getNodeObject(objectID)", but this gives also nil for some attached/joint objects.
Is there a simple check like eg. "exists(objectID)" ?

Hi,

you could try to use: entityExists(objectId)

Cheers,
Emil

Wonderful! - seems just the right for what I've searched.
However I must still test all appearing cases.

But honestly: why aren't such essential things documented (eg. api reference)?

Thanks

hmm .. doesn't work here (FS13)
Also unknown method in "g_currentMission"
Is it perhaps for the FS15?

Hi,

yes, this command only works in FS15.

Cheers,
Emil

Any ideas for FS13?
Or must I really scan all IDs up from root for validation?
