[Plugin] Nickname, [Behavior] Nickname

basically I want to be able to spawn a object via a string

and then treat that string a that object so I could do something like

spawn string "player"

set "player" animation to "spin"

thats just an example but it would be really nice

it would be probably better to make a different plugin for this as it would use real names instead of nicknames

but It would be a nice addiction to just be able to spawn a object like this and then set its variables

You might use a family for all types of sprite, like

[niclname] Create instance "player" into family_sprite

set family_sprite animation to "spin"

but then I would need to create a family for every time I create a object

or I would need a large amount of family's

Shadowblitz16

You only need to create a family which contains all (object) types of sprite.

I basically want to address them separately though a variable not a family

the problem with family's is that they can't be the objects can't be addressed by a variable

the problem though with the nickname plugin is you can't set actions for that object once you spawn it with the nickname

Shadowblitz16

All actions, conditions, expressions are working with object type (or SOL), which is the core concept of C2. That's why action of creating instance in nickname plugin will conduct to object type.

I tried to use "create instance into family" action,it's not working.

(the objects are created, but my family is still empty)

but if I try your example, it's working correctly.

Do you have a very simple capx for this bug reporting?

Nickname "aaa" is "Sprite" object. But "Sprite" is not in "Family1" (it only contains "Sprite2"). "Sprite" could not be picked into SOL of "Family1", put "Sprite" into "Family1" to solve it.

Rexrainbow, best regards!

Have a easy way to "name'=>"nickname" for family?

My first idea was:

-for each "familyguns"

--nickname: assign nickname to "familyguns" as "familyguns.name"

but there is no such function=(((

or like this:

for each object set "name" to "nickname"?

You might use "Nickname behavior" to assign nickname of each object.

Familyguns have nickname behavior... but there is at now 81 guns. Can you add to nickname behavior action "get object name"?

antided

"object name" will be renamed (minify) when exported.

Or set "Mode" to "SID" in properties table in nickname behavior, the nickname will be assigned automatically with an unique value.

I dont need unique value(

Thanks, ill do it by hands
