Hi!
In my script I have an array of struct:
struct boneInfo (
boneObject,
parentBone,
parentGuide,
callback,
fn RegisterCallback = (
callback= when transform parentGuide changes do
boneObject.position = parentGuide.position
)
Basically, I’d like to have something similar to the Bone Edit mode: elsewhere in my script I’m filling a global array of boneInfo structs, one for each bone of a skeleton. The parentGuide objects are simple meshes corresponding the the joints. I’d like to press a check button, set affectchildren=false, register the handlers for all the bones, move my guides and make the bones follow them.
But this doesn’t work.
As soon I move a guide and its position changes, I got “Struct member access requires instance: parentGuide” error.
I’m quite stuck and have no idea of what to do
Any help will be most welcome
thanks

If you are wanting to modify a variable in the struct, you need to make an instance of the struct once it is created. This is effectively like creating a class definition and then instancing it.
--Define the struct:
Struct MyStruct (
MyVariable = #()
)
-- Instance the Struct:
MyStructInstance = MyStruct()
--then use MyStructInstance in your callback.
-- If you want to safely self reference the struct from functions within the struct itself then replacing the struct name with the instance is the way to go ( this is the best way to replicate the .self functionality that most other languages have ):
Struct MyStruct (
MyVariable = #(),
Fn Function1 =(
Print( Hello )
),
Fn Function2 =(
MyStruct.Function1()
)
)
-- Replace reference with the instance:
MyStruct = MyStruct()
