Race: Find out current mode and player rank in DD

[driver2]

Hello,

I've been searching on the wiki and in the race resource itself, but I couldn't find a non-hacky way, to detect which mode Race is currently running and who finished on what rank in a Destruction Derby. Maybe someone with knowledge of Race can answer this.

Greetings

I found out that onMapStarting provides three parameters, mapInfo, mapOptions and gameOptions, of which mapInfo.modename contains the name of the mode. It still don't know how to detect the ranking in DD though.

getElementData(player, 'race rank') should work

Beware that the 'race rank' data is updated at 1 second intervals, so if you really need accuracy you'll have to wait at most 1 second after the player has finished.
