hi, i asked at wiki help desk ;-
If i have already got a valid ref to an actor is there a standard/simple way of checking if that actor is a live or has been destroyed?
Click to expand...

i was advised that this could be done by simply checking the variable holding the ref

Code: 
if(refActor == None)
{
//Do this stuff if the actor has been destroyed (or the actor wasn't referenced succesfully
}
else
{
//Do this stuff if the actor is alive and referenced properly
}
so i tried a small test ;-
Code: 
class touchActor extends trigger
placeable;

function touch(actor other)
{
if (other.IsA'vehicle')
   {
    VecRef=Vehicle(other);
    settimer(1,true);   
   }
}

function timer()
{
log ("Vecref = "$vecref);
}

but the variable VecRef dosent change when the vehicle is destroyed. Which is how i would have expected it to behave in the first place.
Have i missunderstood the reply at all?
