Creating dynamically characters

How can I create characters in game?

I've tried this, but it doesn't work.

Code:

Game::ObjParams param;

    param.mesh(true,Meshes.ptr("obj/chr/warrior/body.mesh"));

    param.skeleton(true,Skeletons("obj/chr/warrior/body.skel"));

    param.matrix.setScalePos(5,Vec(0,0,0));

    param.type(true, "OBJ_PLAYER");

    bool res= Game::World.objCreate(param,param.matrix);

res is always false :(

I also tried to use the draw function manually, but a pyramid is drawn:

unit = new Game::Chr();
unit.create(param);

Creating the object in the world editor works fine.

check if you have object container for OBJ_PLAYER

you must have some issue somewhere, please check the "dynamically creating objects" tutorial

Edit: this will fail only if you haven't set the player object container for the enum

I didn't include the enums, now it works. Thanks!

Still I have a question. Is there a way to get the index of the created character?
I could call the last element of container, but is there a different possibility to get the index?

Another way i can think of is to check how many elements there are in the container with players.elms()

or

PHP Code:

Int  index   (TYPE *elm)C; 
Bool contains(TYPE *elm)C;
