ActorListIndex

ActorListIndex

Exposes the index an Actor was placed at for the scene's ActorList command.

Usage

This can be used to reliably identify actors within a given scene with some exceptions:

• A mod can augment the scene's original ActorList command. I'm sort of hoping this doesn't become a common practice, as there are easier ways to remove/add actors to a given scene.
• Some actors are spawned _after_ this ActorList command, like individual bushes of grass.

// Import function

RECOMP_IMPORT("ProxyMM_ActorListIndex", s32 GetActorListIndex(Actor* actor));

RECOMP_CALLBACK("*", recomp_after_actor_init)

void AfterActorInit(PlayState play, Actor actor) {

s32 actorListIndex = GetActorListIndex(actor);

// This will always be the front right barrel near the turtle's right fin in GBT

if (

play->sceneId == SCENE_SEA &&

play->roomCtx.curRoom.num == 13 &&

actorListIndex == 6

) {

Actor_Kill(actor);

}

if (actorListIndex == -1) {

// Spawned outside of an ActorList command

}

}
