How do I get pointers to all the players on a server?

#1 Have your hitboxes inherit from ShapeBase. There's an onCollision method in there that you can override and do your processing.

#2 Dont want to. It is too inefficient that way. I just need pointers to the players. There MUST be an obvious way to do this.

#3 To do it from a script:

%n = ClientGroup.getCount();

for( %i = 0; %i < %n; %i++ ) {
   // First get the player
   %client = ClientGroup.getObject( %i );
   %player = %client.player;
   
   // Check to see if the client is actually controling
   // the player object, otherwise he may be a observer
   if( %client.getControlObject() == %client.player ) {
      // Ok you have a player, do your processing
   }
}

To do it from compiled code:

SimGroup *clG = Sim::getClientGroup();

for( SimGroup::iterator i = clG->begin(); i != clG->end(); i++ ) {
   GameConnection *t = dynamic_cast<GameConnection *>( *i )
   if( t ) {
      Player *p = dynamic_cast<Player *>( t->getControlObject() );
      if( p ) {
         // Ok you've got your player
      }
   }
}

#4 Thank you very much. After posting my second comment I realized I could just look at the missionLoad code, and I was right. I found exactly what you said there in teh scripts. Thank you though!

#5 Thank you, I've been searching that for quite sometime. I do however have a question. Now that I have the players. How do I keep track of a list of items in a specific SimGroup, (for my AI). Here's what I have:

Vector list; // should I use Item or ItemData?
// list get's sent into a function where we obtain all health's on a particular level.....for example.

char* groupName = "L1Health";

SimGroup* pMissionGroup = dynamic_cast(Sim::findObject(groupName));

// it does loop the appropriate number of times, so I know that it is finding the objects
for(SimGroup::iterator itr = pMissionGroup->begin(); itr != pMissionGroup->end(); itr++){
list->push_back(dynamic_cast(*itr)); // what does dynamic_cast(*itr) do????????
}

Now, I don't know if this is the proper way to obtain a list of pointers to these Items that I need. I think it is but what I really need to know is the position of that object. How do I get that?
I tried doing a for loop on my list to access each object in the list but can't seem to get anything. I'm not a C++ guru by all means but have slowly been figuring things out. This I cannot.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thx.
