Object activation question

I've had partial progress with a simple mod I'm building, but so far only by adding to existing source code. In order to make it a proper mod, I'm trying to use the PlayerActivate.RegisterCustomActivation method to inject the code.
The problem I'm running into is that PlayerActivate.RegisterCustomActivation requires that the referenced function must be static and I need to reference the activated object (specifically, getting to the loot data is there is any). I figure there is probably a way to use the RaycastHit object passed to the function to get the object instance, but not certain how to do so. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Use PlayerActivate.LootCheck(), or some similar code?

Well specifically, I want to modify properties of the in-world container object based on the contents of the container.
If I can use PlayerActivate.RegisterCustomActivation then I would want something like this:
Code: Select all
public static void ActivateContainer(RaycastHit hit)
{
GameObject go;
go = hit.GetReferenceToInWorldContainerObject();
UpdateContainer(go);
}

Try registering to PlayerActivate.OnLootSpawned.
Like this:

Ah. great example! If the object parameter passed is what I hope it is, this should work fine. Thanks!

I've ended up going back to using PlayerActivate.RegisterCustomActivation as it seems like OnLootSpawned isn't being called in my case.
For anyone that wants to use PlayerActivate.RegisterCustomActivation, I noticed this code in PlayerActivate:
Code: Select all
private bool LootCheck(RaycastHit hitInfo, out DaggerfallLoot loot)
{
loot = hitInfo.transform.GetComponent<DaggerfallLoot>();
return loot != null;
}
Further experimentation showed that the RaycastHit hitInfo parameter passed to Activate gives you the activated in-game world object (hitInfo.transform = in-world object instance... BINGO!).
