Tank

Module: tank.lua

Overview

The Tank module represents a tank vehicle in the game. It inherits from VehicleBlippable to add radar blip functionality and manage the tank’s health upon activation.

Inheritance

• Inherits from: VehicleBlippable
• Imports: none

Instance pattern

This is a per-instance object module (keyed by uGuid). It tracks the following key fields:

• tFlash: The flash color of the radar blip.
• sTexture: The texture used for the radar blip.
• nSize: The size of the radar blip.

Functions

OnActivate(uGuid, uRuntimeOwner, iArg)

Called when the tank instance is activated. It sets up an event to call Start once the object leaves hibernation.

Start(uGuid, uRuntimeOwner, iArg)

Creates a new per-instance table for the tank using the module’s prototype. Logs “Tank Start” and checks if the tank’s health is greater than zero before proceeding with initialization.

Events

• Listens for Event.ObjectHibernation to call Start when the object leaves hibernation.

Notes for modders

• Ensure that OnActivate and OnDeactivate are called appropriately to manage the tank’s lifecycle.
• Customize radar blip properties by setting fields like tFlash, sTexture, and nSize.
• The tank will only be initialized if its health is greater than zero.
