Due to
http://developer.wz2100.net/changeset/8a964f12afbda6d6db25fad69ae1778ce7d3f841
the BEING_DEMOLISHED constant was removed from the JS API.
This constant was the only way for AI scripts to know when a building was
being demolished. If the truck that's demolishing a building gets
destroyed, there's no easy way to detect part-demolished buildings on the
map because they look like they are part-built instead of part-demolished.
The only workaround in JS scripts would be to maintain a lookup table of
what each truck is doing, and updating that every time a truck starts or
stops something, or gets destroyed or retreats for repairs, etc., which
quickly becomes very bloaty and crufty. It requires a lot of extra code
for building management that obfuscates what the script is doing.
As AIs get more advanced, and as already being seen in AIs such as
NullBot, building "recycling" is becoming more common to replace old
buildings with newer buildings, particularly with respect to defences.
