Hi ,
seems like a silly question but i can't find answer for it .
In code how do iterate over object that are created in the editor .
for example i have created/imported 3d objects into the editor, lets say for each one i defined couple of parameters one of which is type, is there an option to do something like this in the code ?

The simple way to do this is to put in your editor object an ObjClass like OBJ_ITEM for exemple (you can create ObjClass on left of editor).

Then you need to create a list of YourCustomObject like this:


Then when you load your world in your code like this:


You need to add setObjType(objItem, OBJ_ITEM) to indicate that the world is loading that you want to use the creation of your objects with the class YourCustomObject.

Now your class YourCustomObject can be simple as:

And then you can iterate over your OBJ_ITEM like this:

Hope this help you to understand

thanks Amnedge1331 for the reply .

However it seems i'm doing something wrong as it didn't work .
first i had a problem world isn't defined so i assumed it is Game.World.id() .
for the sake of trial .
This is what i tried after :

a global :

in bool Init()


to test it :
in void Draw() :

i had main two problems :
1 - the myPathPieces is empty (although i added to the editor object with class OBJ_PATH_PIECE).
2 - all other OBJ aren't showing anymore (those OBJ aren't related to this change and worked before the added code).

well do you set the world ? this way will only works if Game.World.id() is defined

sorry i don't understand , i'm new to the engine , this is the code relating to world in my app , is this what you mean :

yeah you dont call more than once the .new else i bet its gonna erase the previous one.

yeah the new() was the problem ,
but i think there is a misunderstanding here , as i already use setObjType() for other object .
but the container which in my case is Game.ObjMap<PathPiece > myPathPieces; gets filled only when adding objects to the world . thats not what i wanted .
what i wanted is to fill the container with objects that i have under Objects directory (as in load all the assets from Objects directory).

well the objmap is only being populated by item already in the world that you have set up.

do you mean you want to have like an enum with all your items in it ? and populate your container with all those items once ?

yeah , so i don't have to do this for each object i have:

something like this might work:

and you can just populate it with more, so you have like a class with 1 enum with all the UID in it. that's normaly how i use it.

the same way, like if i want to have dif. trees in a forest, i can simply set the obj to be random between 0 and 4, or like for crafting system, i have a system that take the obj at the same pos as my GUIenum, so if i ever want to have more craft, i can just add a line in there, and that's it

int MyClasses() {return Elms(MyClass);}

i really appreciate your trying to help , i really hope you would understand this time xD .
what you wrote is my problem , i don't want to insert the UIDs manually , let's say i have 200 object , so i have to do ClassInfo.Spook, UID(4228050782, 1084811514, 2321151892, 3995373297) for each one ?
i just want whenever my app starts create in some way a container with all the UIDs of my objects in it.
it would be nice if i can just do :


let's say i have four 3d objects of fruit (apple,orange,banana,kiwi), for each i have variations (like red apple , green ...) would define params like :
str type ,str color, str size, ....
in code (if i have that container) i would do :

oh i see, sorry then
Well i'm not sure if that's possible you will need Esenthel to tell, or someone that uses a system like that to comment here then =p

there might be a way to take all the OBJ from a directory but i've never seen someone posting it on this forum using it this way.

by the end of the day, you would need to create a giant if cluster for those items anyway, sometimes planning on simpler architecture is good

you can add different str and int and enum to the class as well.

Thanks for the help any way

You can do what you want using Editor Interface:

I'm made this quick code from tutorial
But don't do that in actual game, it's only working with esenthel editor open. Still you can for example:
and save 'mylist' to file, then load it in game.

Also, read this before: http://www.esenthel.com/?id=doc#Editor_N..._Interface
