ParameterTypeMandatoryDescriptionGame version
playerNumber(error)

The ID number of the player who's droids you want to list.

Defaults to me.

3.1 Beta 1
droidTypeConstant(error)

The type of droid you want to list:

  • DROID_WEAPON — A droid capable of attacking other droids.
  • DROID_CYBORG — A cyborg warrior capable of attacking the enemy.
  • DROID_COMMAND — A commander unit, to which other units can be assigned.
  • DROID_ECM — A droid that has an Electronic Counter Measures (radar jammer) turret.
  • DROID_SENSOR
  • DROID_CONSTRUCT — A construction truck or a cyborg engineer.
  • DROID_SUPERTRANSPORTER — A heavy transport unit, capable of airlifting any type of droid (including VTOLs) to some other location on the map...
  • DROID_PERSON — A droid that uses "legs" propulsion, for example a civilian or a scavenger machinegunner.
  • DROID_REPAIR — A droid that has a repair turret, capable of repairing other droids.
  • DROID_TRANSPORTER — A cyborg transporter (or possibly a super transporter in Warzone 3.1 Beta 4 and earlier), capable of airlifting droids to some other location on the map.
  • DROID_ANY — Used to bypass droid type filtering in functions that list or count droids.

Default: DROID_ANY

3.1 Beta 1
viewerNumber(error)

List droids that a specific player can see (eg. on their sensors), with the player specified by their player ID.

Defaults: -1 which means "don't filter based on viewer".

3.1 Beta 1

Return value

<error>ErrorIf the player/viewer or droid type specified is incorrect, an error is thrown.3.1 Beta 1

Notes

The enumDroid() function will not list droids that are embarked on transports – to list those, use enumCargo() instead.

In Warzone 3.1.0 and earlier, the function would not return combat engineers or cyborg mechanics when using the DROID_CONSTRUCT or DROID_REPAIR constants. Instead you have to pass in a cyborg-specific value on the droidType parameter:

Name: Combat EngineerConstruction Truck Cyborg Mechanic Repair Droid 
Icon:
droidType:10DROID_CONSTRUCT11DROID_REPAIR

In addition, in 3.1.0 and earlier, super-cyborgs were classified as DROID_WEAPON instead of DROID_CYBORG.

In the early WZ 3.1 Beta releases, bug #3123 prevented scripts from getting lists of scavenger droids and structures. See scavengerPlayer for some ideas as to how to deal with that.

There have been several changes to the Droid objects that are returned by this function.

Examples

Get a list of all my droids
var myDroids = enumDroid();
Build an array of all enemy droids we can see
// for Warzone 3.1 RC3 or earlier, you'll need to define DROID_ANY
// const DROID_ANY = 15;
 
var enemyDroids = [];
 
playerData.forEach(function(player, id) {
  if (!allianceExistsBetween(me, id)) { // enemy player
    enemyDroids = enemyDroids.concat(enumDroid(id, DROID_ANY, me));
  }
});
Availability 3.1 B1+

Requires:

  • Warzone 3.1 Beta 1 and above.
  • (warning) Issues with cyborgs in 3.1.0 and earlier
