Struct Agent 

#[repr(C)]
pub struct Agent<Kind = ()> { /* private fields */ }

An agent.

Agents in arcdps are very versatile, as a lot of things end up being an “agent”. This includes:

• Players
• Bosses
• Any additional mobs that spawn
• Mesmer illusions
• Ranger spirits, pets
• Guardian spirit weapons
• …

Generally, you can divide them into three kinds (AgentKind):

• Player: All players themselves.
• Character: Non-player mobs, including most bosses, “adds” and player-generated characters.
• Gadget: Some additional gadgets, such as ley rifts, continuum split, …

All of these agents share some common fields, which are the ones accessible in Agent<Kind>. The kind can be retrieved using .kind(), which can be matched on.

Obtaining an agent

The normal way to obtain the agents is to use the .agents() method on a Log, or one of the other accessor methods (like .players() or .agent_by_addr()).

In the cases where you already have a raw::Agent available, you can also convert it to an Agent by using the standard TryFrom/TryInto traits:

use std::convert::TryInto;
let raw_agent: raw::Agent = panic!();
let agent: Agent = raw_agent.try_into().unwrap();

Note that you can convert references as well, so if you plan on re-using the raw agent afterwards, you should opt for Agent::try_from(&raw_agent) instead.

The Kind parameter

The type parameter is not actually used and only exists at the type level. It can be used to tag Agents containing a known kind. For example, Agent<Player> implements .player(), which returns a &Player directly (instead of a Option<&Player>). This works because such tagged Agents can only be constructed (safely) using .as_player(), .as_gadget() or .as_character(). This is useful since functions like Log::players, which already filter only players, don’t require the consumer to do another check/pattern match for the right agent kind.

The unit type () is used to tag Agents which contain an undetermined type, and it is the default if you write Agent without any parameters.

The downside is that methods which work on Agents theoretically should be generic over Kind. An escape hatch is the method .erase(), which erases the kind information and produces the default Agent<()>. Functions/methods that only take Agent<()> can therefore be used by any other agent as well.

Implementations

impl<Kind> Agent<Kind>

pub fn kind(&self) -> &AgentKind

The kind of this agent.

impl<Kind> Agent<Kind>

pub fn addr(&self) -> u64

The address of this agent.

This is not actually the address of the in-memory Rust object, but rather a serialization detail of arcdps. You should consider this as an opaque number and only compare it to other agent addresses.

pub fn toughness(&self) -> i16

The toughness of this agent.

This is not an absolute number, but a relative indicator that indicates this agent’s toughness relative to the other people in the squad.

0 means lowest toughness, 10 means highest toughness.

pub fn concentration(&self) -> i16

The concentration of this agent.

This is not an absolute number, but a relative indicator that indicates this agent’s concentration relative to the other people in the squad.

0 means lowest concentration, 10 means highest concentration.

pub fn healing(&self) -> i16

The healing power of this agent.

This is not an absolute number, but a relative indicator that indicates this agent’s healing power relative to the other people in the squad.

0 means lowest healing power, 10 means highest healing power.

pub fn condition(&self) -> i16

The condition damage of this agent.

This is not an absolute number, but a relative indicator that indicates this agent’s condition damage relative to the other people in the squad.

0 means lowest condition damage, 10 means highest condition damage.

pub fn instance_id(&self) -> u16

The instance ID of this agent.

pub fn first_aware(&self) -> u64

The timestamp of the first event entry with this agent.

pub fn last_aware(&self) -> u64

The timestamp of the last event entry with this agent.

pub fn master_agent(&self) -> Option<u64>

The master agent’s address.

impl<Kind> Agent<Kind>

pub fn erase(&self) -> &Agent

Erase any extra information about the contained agent kind.

pub fn as_player(&self) -> Option<&Agent<Player>>

Try to convert this Agent to an Agent representing a Player.

pub fn as_gadget(&self) -> Option<&Agent<Gadget>>

Try to convert this Agent to an Agent representing a Gadget.

pub fn as_character(&self) -> Option<&Agent<Character>>

Try to convert this Agent to an Agent representing a Character.

impl Agent<Player>

pub fn player(&self) -> &Player

Directly access the underlying player data.

pub fn account_name(&self) -> &str

Shorthand to get the player’s account name.

pub fn character_name(&self) -> &str

Shorthand to get the player’s character name.

pub fn elite(&self) -> Option<EliteSpec>

Shorthand to get the player’s elite specialization.

pub fn profession(&self) -> Profession

Shorthand to get the player’s profession.

pub fn subgroup(&self) -> u8

Shorthand to get the player’s subgroup.

impl Agent<Gadget>

pub fn gadget(&self) -> &Gadget

Directly access the underlying gadget data.

pub fn id(&self) -> u16

Shorthand to get the gadget’s id.

pub fn name(&self) -> &str

Shorthand to get the gadget’s name.

impl Agent<Character>

pub fn character(&self) -> &Character

Directly access the underlying character data.

pub fn id(&self) -> u16

Shorthand to get the character’s id.

pub fn name(&self) -> &str

Shorthand to get the character’s name.

Trait Implementations

impl<Kind: Clone> Clone for Agent<Kind>

fn clone(&self) -> Agent<Kind>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<Kind: Debug> Debug for Agent<Kind>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<Kind: Hash> Hash for Agent<Kind>

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl<Kind: PartialEq> PartialEq for Agent<Kind>

fn eq(&self, other: &Agent<Kind>) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl TryFrom<&Agent> for Agent

fn try_from(raw_agent: &Agent) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Parse a raw agent.

type Error = EvtcError

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

impl TryFrom<Agent> for Agent

fn try_from(raw_agent: Agent) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Convenience method to avoid manual borrowing.

Note that this conversion will consume the agent, so if you plan on re-using it, use the TryFrom<&raw::Agent> implementation that works with a reference.

type Error = EvtcError

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.
