Is it possible to add new methods to raw t2dSceneObject class?

Is it possible to add new methods to raw t2dSceneObject class?

Since i have "actors" superClass for all moving (live) actors in my game (player and enemies) i get into a problem: I cant set the same class (or superClass) to any t2dStaticSprite and then to some t2dAnimatedSprite. Since my player model is animated, and all others are static...

So i was wondering if i can set some universal methods for all t2dSceneObjects somehow?

Sure you can - just add methods or consoleMethods for t2dSceneObject. What's the actual problem here? I'm not clear.

You mean, i just type

function t2dSceneObject::newMethod(){
}?

(i am not currently at some office computer, so i can't test this until tomorrow)

Oh this is in script! I'm not familiar with script OOP I'm afraid.

It turns out that YOU ACTUALLY CAN just simply define a method for ANY t2dSceneObject from script with that simple code lines:
function t2dSceneObject::newMethod(){
    // any statements
}
So technically, this way you can define new methods for ANY non-virtual OBJECT IN THE GAME! Now i have extra superSuperClass, AWESOME :D
