I was just wondering… is there anything like a for loop but for structs and properties instead of arrays and elements?
Edit:
To clarify, I’m looking for a way to be able to get this sort of result without relying on execute:
test = testStruct first:1 second:2 third:3 fourth:"testing"
testProps = getPropNames test
for p = 1 to testProps.count do
(
propName = testProps[p] as string
propVal = execute ("test." + propName)
format "%: %
" propName (propVal == "testing")
)
Which returns
#Struct:testStruct(
fourth:<data>; Public,
second:<data>; Public,
first:<data>; Public,
third:<data>; Public)
(testStruct first:1 second:2 third:3 fourth:"testing")
#(#fourth, #second, #first, #third)
fourth: true
second: false
first: false
third: false
OK
OK
Is it Your want ??
struct testStruct
(
first = 1,
second = 2,
third = 3,
fourth = "testing",
fn testFn = (
"Is a function"
)
)
test = testStruct()
ps = getPropNames test
for p in ps do (
val = getProperty test p
format (p as string + " = % , type is %
") val (classof val)
)
Result :
fourth = testing , type is String
testFn = testFn() , type is MAXScriptFunction
second = 2 , type is Integer
third = 3 , type is Integer
first = 1 , type is Integer
What the heck? That’s what I tried doing initially and it didn’t work. But now later when I tried it again, it worked fine. I must have screwed something up the first time…
Oh well, thanks for the help
But the not great is the sequence… How to get it like this :first second third fourth… :shrug:
It would seem like something has changed in either 3dsMax 2012 or 2011:
2010: ps = #(#fourth, #testFn, #second, #third, #first)
2012: ps = #(#first, #second, #fourth, #third, #testFn)
2013: ps = #(#first, #second, #fourth, #third, #testFn)
Lawl Max y u so silly?
Yeah, it’s kinda strange that structs won’t keep things in any consistent order. That’s not going to be a problem for me in this case, but I can definitely foresee situations where it would become irritating.
