Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to check the type of a dotNET object?
print o
dotNetObject:System.DateTime
classOf o
dotNetObject
superClassOf o
Value
dotNET.getType o
dotNetObject:System.RuntimeType[System.DateTime]
None of the above returns a maxscript object (obviously). So, is there a way to check if a dotNET is of a specific dotNET class (other than comparing strings)?
Another question: did anyone find a way of creating associative arrays in maxscript?
There is the struct way:
struct s_AssociativeArray (
names = #(),
values = #(),
fn add n v=
(
if not isKindOf n name then
n = (n as string) as name
append names n
append values v
),
fn get n =
(
if isKindOf n integer then (
i = n
) else (
if not isKindOf n name then
n = (n as string) as name
local i = findItem names n
)
if i > 0 then
values[i]
else
undefined
)
) -- end of s_AssociativeArray struct
But it's not as elegant as real associative arrays.
Thanks,
