S_EVENT_TAKEOFF does not contain "place" property for FARPs or Ships

[mousepilot]

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that the S_EVENT_TAKEOFF no longer returns the "place" for FARPs or Ship base types.

It works as expected if the location is an airfield.

I've put together a mission that shows the issue. It contains 3 helicopters, Rotary-1 at a FARP, Rotary-2 at an airfield and Rotary-3 at a ship.

The mission code hooks to the event and simply shows a message with the name of the "place".

Let me know if you need more information.

Cheers.

Hi, thank you for the mission. It helps seeing the problem very easily.

I'm about to report it, but I need to know what you're expecting to get when taking off from a FARP or a ship. Is that the unit name? the group name? or the object name?

@Flappie, sorry for the late reply.

It should return the airbase object (much like it does when it's an airfield).

That way it will be aligned with the other types.

Cheers.
