✅ Verified in-game — deeper pass — re-confirmed no Event.ObjectHibernation/Awake in this file (OnActivate calls Create synchronously, shadowing VehicleBlippable's hibernation-wait OnActivate); added cross-links to VehicleBlippable/OrientedBlippable up the inheritance chain

Airplane

Module: airplane.lua

Overview

The Airplane module represents a specific type of vehicle in the game world. It inherits from VehicleBlippable, which means it can be blipped on radar and has properties related to vehicles. This module is responsible for initializing airplane instances when they are activated.

Inheritance

• Inherits from: VehicleBlippable (→ OrientedBlippable → Blippable → Inheritable)
• Imports: none

Instance pattern

This is a per-instance object module (keyed by uGuid), but note it does not use the Event.ObjectHibernation/Awake deferral idiom seen elsewhere in this wiki. airplane.lua defines its own top-level OnActivate(uGuid, uRuntimeOwner, iArg) which calls oPrototype:Create(uGuid, uRuntimeOwner) synchronously and immediately — there is no Awake function in this file, and no Event.ObjectHibernation reference anywhere in the source. This locally-defined OnActivate shadows the OnActivate that VehicleBlippable itself defines (which does wait on Event.ObjectHibernation before calling its own Start), since both live in the same global-per-file environment and airplane.lua’s own definition wins for airplane.lua’s own activation. Create resolves through inheritance to VehicleBlippable.Create (and from there up through OrientedBlippable/Blippable), which is what actually builds the per-uGuid table and registers the driver-enter/exit and faction-attitude events. Module-level fields (shared across all instances via the prototype, not instance-specific storage):

• tFlash: The flash color of the radar objective — {255, 255, 255}.
• sTexture: Texture used for the radar objective — "temp_radar_icon_airplane".
• nSize: Size of the radar objective — 5.

Functions

OnActivate(uGuid, uRuntimeOwner, iArg)

Called when the airplane instance is activated. Immediately creates a new per-instance table for the object using the module’s prototype (oPrototype:Create(uGuid, uRuntimeOwner)) — iArg is accepted as a parameter but not used in this function body.

Events

No Event.* references appear anywhere in this file — OnActivate is an engine-invoked lifecycle callback, not something that subscribes to an event. (Contrast with most other vehicle/blippable modules in this wiki, which defer through Event.ObjectHibernation before creating their instance; this file does not.)

Notes for modders

• OnActivate fires and creates the instance immediately on activation — there’s no hibernation wait to account for here, unlike many other *Blippable-derived modules.
• Customize blip properties by setting fields like tFlash, sTexture, and nSize.
• This module inherits from VehicleBlippable, so any vehicle-specific behavior or methods (driver enter/exit blip recoloring, faction attitude changes) can be extended or overridden via that chain.
