OpenTankHatch

Module: opentankhatch.lua

Overview

The OpenTankHatch module is designed to open the driver hatch of a tank vehicle when it is activated. It checks if there is a driver in the vehicle; if not, it opens the hatch.

Inheritance

• Inherits from: none — base/utility module
• Imports: none

Instance pattern

This is a stateless utility module (no Create/instance pattern). It does not track any per-instance state.

Functions

OnActivate(guid, args)

Called when the object instance is activated. It checks if there is a driver in the vehicle; if no driver is found, it opens the driver hatch.

Events

• Listens for Event.ObjectActivated to call OnActivate.

Notes for modders

• This module is designed to be used with tank vehicles.
• Ensure that the vehicle has a door named “DriverHatch” for this script to work correctly.
• The script does not handle cases where multiple drivers might be present; it only checks for the presence of one driver.
