ObjectPtr question
hey so i was just wondering can a ObjectPtr return its id even if its not a correct one ?

i have a

ObjectPtr obj;

i do a Game.World.objCreate(*obj, m, s_id);

it does return false from time to time, but obj.id().asCString() return the correct id number ?

how's so ?

Thanks

Hello,

ObjectPtr points to an Object data allocated in the memory (in Objects Cache), this is not a Game.Obj object in the world.
Object and Game.Obj are 2 different things.

oh i should have ask this in another way wink

when does Game.World.objCreate(*obj, m, s_id); return false ?

i was saying more in a way that, i feel that my objcreate fails because of the ptr ?

I guess it returns false because it failed to spawn the object in your world. Probably because the coordinates you are trying to spawn it belong to an area that has an inactive state.

RE: ObjectPtr question
What is the pos that you spawn it at, and what is the position that you use to update the world?

RE: ObjectPtr question
this happens only when i have the same objptr in the inventory i made, and in the world at the same time, that's why i supposed it was more the fact that the objptr must be messed up at some point

i do update on my cam( so on my char )

edit: don't worry tottel, i gonna try tp do it in another way wink

If the object would be in an inactive area, then the method will still succeed and return true.

It will fail only if object wasn't created at all, this can happen if your object type wasn't associated with a game object container.

Source code available here:
https://github.com/Esenthel/EsenthelEngi...Object.cpp

see:
Game.World.setObjType
Object.type
and also the tutorials

RE: ObjectPtr question
thanks esenthel for that answer, ill double check my objtype
but i do the setobjtype, and the item is only not showing when i have it at the same time in my inventory and in the world at the same time upon creating both of them.

the objtype might be set off at some point ill def. have a look into this ! wink
