SetGroup()/getGroup() still supported?

by Wes · in Torque Game Builder · 07/17/2008 (7:15 am) · 3 replies

I have a sprite placed manually in the scene through the level editor.

Settings:
Layer = 1
Group = 2
Scripting > Name = testBlock1

Console output when I test the level:

==>echo(testBlock1.getGroup());
-1
==>testBlock1.setGroup(3);
(0): Unknown command setGroup.
Object testBlock1(1369) testBlock1 -> t2dStaticSprite -> t2dSceneObject -> BehaviorComponent -> DynamicConsoleMethodComponent -> SimComponent -> SimObject

Are getGroup() and setGroup() no longer working (1.7.3)?
If not, what have they been replaced with?

Thanks.

Could you not try testBlock1.dump(); to see what methods testBlock1 has? might give you a better idea?

Good advice... it looks like graphGroup is the mystery guest.

Thanks Gavin.

For future reference, where would I go to find out about changes like this as they happen?
