[Closed] Instance Cloning when the Object is referencing the INode

class FindReferenceInPipe : public  GeomPipelineEnumProc
{
	Object* obj;
	
public:	

	BOOL ref_found;
	FindReferenceInPipe(Object* _obj) : obj(_obj), ref_found(FALSE) { }
	PipeEnumResult proc(ReferenceTarget *object, IDerivedObject *derObj, int index)
	{
		if(derObj && derObj->GetObjRef() == obj)
		{
			ref_found = TRUE;
			return PIPE_ENUM_STOP;
		}
		return PIPE_ENUM_CONTINUE;
	}
};

   def_visible_primitive(areNodesReferences, "areNodesReferences");

// areNodesReferences <node> <node>

Value* areNodesReferences_cf(Value** arg_list, int count)
{
	check_arg_count(isReference, 2, count);

	INode* first_node = arg_list[0]->to_node();
	INode* second_node = arg_list[1]->to_node();

	Object* first_obj = first_node->GetObjectRef();

	FindReferenceInPipe pipe_enumerator(first_obj->FindBaseObject());
	EnumGeomPipeline(&pipe_enumerator, second_node, true); 

	return pipe_enumerator.ref_found ? &true_value : &false_value;
}

and seems to work both ways (edited so it matchs the areNodesInstances

hmm… but your method says for instances that they are references as well.

here is how i check the reference relation:

Value* areReferences_cf(Value** arg_list, int count)
{
	check_arg_count(areReferences, 2, count);
	ReferenceTarget* targ0 = arg_list[0]->to_reftarg();
	Object* obj0 = arg_list[0]->to_node()->GetObjectRef();
	ReferenceTarget* targ1 = arg_list[1]->to_reftarg();
	Object* obj1 = arg_list[1]->to_node()->GetObjectRef();
	return bool_result((targ0 == targ1) && (obj0 != obj1));
}

hmm… but your method says for instances that they are references as well.

no it doesn’t

areNodesReferences  $box02 $box01 
areNodesReferences  $box01 $box02 
false
false

are_references.max (228 KB)

check this file (max 2016) … box003 and box004 are instances but in your method are references as well

arggh head **** too much wine!

I have to take the place of you. I have Easter today
