Creating a new Object with a simset as a member variable

When trying to create a new object that is a child of ScriptObject, and in the constructor creating a "new simset()" variable the object's class is being set to SimSet for some reason.

here is a test case to try it out against RC1.

%var = new ScriptObject()
{
   class = Test;
   mTestVar = 0;  
   mTestSet = new SimSet();
};
echo(%var.getClassName());
%var.dump();

The above code block will have getClassName() == "SimSet" and there is no printout of the class/superclass. The dump will not show mTestVar as a tagged Field. However mTestSet will be a tagged field with an object id. It will also dump out SimSet methods, along with the other default methods of SimObject.

%var = new ScriptObject()
{
   class = Test;
   mTestVar = 0;  
   mTestSet = 0;
};
echo(%var.getClassName());
%var.dump();

This code block will have getClassName() == "ScriptObject" and the class will be set to "Test". The tagged fields of the dump will show both mTestVar and mTestSet equal to 0. The dumped functions will be that of ScriptObject.


Are you not supposed to be able to create SimSet/SimObject type objects within the constructor of an object? This seems like a bug to me, but I didn't try and dive into the engine side to figure it out.
