Check if a EventHandler is alive

[Donnovan]

Hi!

When i run a event handler like that:

 

myEH_hd = player addEventHandler ["handleDamage",{_this call run_stuff}];

The number of the event handler is stored in myEH_hd.

In my context, there is the possibilitie that another process use the code:

 

player removeAllEventHandlers "handleDamage";

And remove my event handler.

So... there is any way to know if my event handler is still alive?

---------//---------

Also, this, about removeEventHandler, is true?

 

When any handler is removed, all handler indices higher than the deleted one should be decremented.

Sorry if i an asking too much. Thankyou!

Remove it like this

removeEventHandler ["handleDamage",myEH_hd];

Thankyou Sukkaed,

But the problem is to know if the event handler is alive. I don't know if it was removed, i need to check this.

Something like that:

 

while {state_on} do {
      waitUntil {Is the Event Handler Removed?}; //THIS!
      player addEventHandler ["handleDamage",{_this call run_stuff}];
};

The "waitUntil {Is the Event Handler Removed?};" code is what i'm in search.

Better to not use removealleventhandlers or reapply your own after that. As far as I know there is no way to check alive EH's. I would avoid loops everytime when possible.

Thankyou for the help.

A player can have more than one handleDamage event handler? I believe the answer is yes, otherwise ther is no need for "add" and "all" in addEventHandler and removeAllEventHandlers... but...
