getting a units classname?

[stilton 0]

ive looked on the comref briefly but im a bit retarded when it comes to scripting..

in short, ive made a version of evo for me and a friend that uses desert vehicles with the hamas soldier as the enemy, on a desert map..

..im now trying to replace the hamas soldiers with the FFAA-terrorists.. but when i tried to get their class names by dePbo'ing the pbo file, the config.bin is all garbled and hence i cant read it to get the classname..

..so is it possible to use some sort of editor command to get it to show up in a hint ingame, or fix the config.bin so it isnt all garbled.. any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Hey.

Create a trigger in the editor.

Set it to radio activation and copy&paste this into the On Activation line:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

hint format["Type: %1", typeOf *name*]

*name* = name of the unit you want to find the classname for

thanks i also got a pm explaining that i can use kegety's unRap to 'unwrap' the bin into the original config cpp..

which is also good, means i can check all the different classes for the different units..

thx for your help

ur can put in the Initialization line of the unit:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

hint format ["%1", typeOf this]

as well similar to what Deadfast say
