How to access the MissionGroup objects?

by Liu Yi · in Torque Game Engine · 12/12/2006 (2:08 am) · 1 replies

I know that in the scripts, the MissionGroup objects can be accessed using a statement like this:

%obj="MissionGroup/Tank".getObject(%i);

Is there any similar way in the engine to access the objects in the MissionGroup?

Thanks

If you search for MissionGroup in all of the engine files you will get 14 locations where it is used. Here is a code snippet from one of these locations:

SimSet * missionGroup = static_cast<SimSet*>(Sim::findObject("MissionGroup"));
   if(missionGroup)
   {
      mConsoleRendering = true;
      glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
      glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);

      for(SimSetIterator itr(missionGroup); *itr; ++itr)
      {
         char buf[2][16];
         dSprintf(buf[0], 16, (*itr)->isSelected() ? "true" : "false");
         dSprintf(buf[1], 16, (*itr)->isExpanded() ? "true" : "false");
         Con::executef(*itr, 4, "onEditorRender", getIdString(), buf[0], buf[1]);
      }

      glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
      mConsoleRendering = false;
   }

Sim::findObject("MissionGroup") seems to be the way to access the MissionGroup.
