rm5248 how are you with modifying scripts?
in ssaow 1.3.4
under
void M00_GrantPowerup_Created::Created(GameObject *obj) {
there is a
if (Settings_ShowPlayerPurchase) {
char PurchaseMsg[512];
sprintf(PurchaseMsg,"%s purchased a %s",Get_Player_Name(obj),Translate_Preset(IsPlayerVehicle(obj)));
FDSMessage(PurchaseMsg,"_PURCHASE");
}
Now i can be wrong but I think that can be used to do what you want. You can try something like saving the Get_Player_Name(obj)and IsPlayerVehicle(obj). Then when you need to, check if they match, if they don't then that player is in someone elses tank.
Keep in mind players die, leave, and lose vehicles(death/stolen) so you would have to keep track of those things.

If that's C++ then I can't, but if it's Java I'd be able to do it in a few months probably, I'm taking a Java class at school...
So I've got no experience what so ever.
w00t?

Seems like it would certainly be possible. Or else how does the player lock that reserves the vehicle for the first 30 seconds or so work?

Welcome to the untruely unclever way of detecting who is the owner of a new tank.
On the tanks object in object.aow you attach a script and add a void created. Then get this to go into the FDS log or DDE.
Wow, we figured how to find out what preset was created!!!
Now, remember that the FDS can tell us who purchased a vehicle?
So now,
Either
1) We find that a new preset has been created for nod or gdi so we wait to find out which team purchased that veichle because we can store which team the person is one.
2) We find that someone has purchased a new vehicle but we dont know what so we wait for the scripts.dll message and find out what preset it was.
One we have both message, we can output a nice combined string. Tad Ta!
Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

brenbot just reads it from the logfile, it doesnt say what vehicle.
You can detect that a vehicle was created by hooking the object, but you cannot say yet who the owner is, who bought it... thats something for jonwil to add
