Inheritance of objects

[Apeirogon]

So, looks like "is" keyword applied to object type class dont return true when it should.
For example

Code: Select all

	size = allactorclasses.size();

	for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
	{
		if(allactorclasses[i] is "object_name")
		{
			console.printf("is works");				
		}
	}

somewhere else

class object_name
{}

dont print in console anything.
So is there are any other way to check inheritance of object like classes? Or I do something wrong?

What I need in this case, return all objects inherited from another base class object for some function, which contains some pointers to cvars which can not be returned to that functions in other ways.

The AllActorClasses array seems to contain only classes inherited from Actor. Which, if you think about it, is kind of logical. Your class "object_name", however, is not inherited from Actor, so it's not included in the array. That's why your code doesn't print anything.

The name AllActorClasses already tells by its name what it contains. Its a partial sublist of the full class list for looking up actors. The full list can be found in AllClasses.

All actor classes array contains only actors and descendants.

That not that obvious. I mean, this is zscript, which already have much non obvious (undocumented, more precisely) things.

If an array is called All*ACTOR*Classes, why do you expect non-actors to be in there?

I just misunderstood what it contain, when first time seen it in use in some mod.
