Missing me, this or something in scripts [use: getobject()]

[mbncp]

Maybe it's there but I don't see a way for an object to reference itself, tried getfirst/next with fake values, but no luck.

This would make it easier to re-use or duplicate objects, no need to edit each script again.

Could be simply done by calling getfirst(0), returning the reference to the current object.


this code would then work with pretty much any object without any extra editing.

decl me;
me = getfirst(0);
setattribute(me, 'color', 0);

+1 being able to create a template container and duplicate it would be perfect. Then being able to adjust it from script would be perfect for me.

Hi guys,

This exists already, use getobject() to refer to the object within which the script is contained. For example:

Code: Select all

setattribute(getobject(),'color',some_variable);

More extensive example attached.

Thanks, exactly what we were looking for and nice example btw.

Do you have by chance a list of all undocumented functions ?

I'm in the process of reviewing the parser code and double-checking that everything is covered in the documentation. I've found a couple little things so far, will updated the PDF manual soon.

Best regards,

Glad to see there's a workaround for this! Cheers Nick. Look forward to the updated PDF
