Hi!
I'm making a Mod that will work with all other Mods, I think...

I just want to know, is there some way I can check to see if a certain template exists? For example, new force destruction that will take the most powerfullest projectile in a Mod (those that I've looked at).

I'm sorry, but I don't think you can get a reference to an uninstanced template via COG.

You can try using LoadTemplate(). If the template you give it doesn't exist, it'll probably return -1 or some other invalid number.

The problem is, that he doesn't know.the template name. He wants a reference to an unknown template (I think).

You can create an object via the template number, but thats about it. :\

Hmmm..... Well, you can check if a template exists inside the level .jkl or static.jkl by doing the following:

Define your template in the symbols section:

template MyChecker=+Tpl_ToCheckFer local


Then, you would execute some cog code like this:

DummyThinger=FireProjectile(player, MyChecker........);
if(DummyThinger == -1) //Then the template doesn't exist
{
Print("Template not exist");
}


I hope this is what you're asking for.

(I did this so that if you tried to play TDiR on levels that we didn't support, it would jkEndLevel() )
