Detailed Description

Typedef Documentation

typedef type new

create a new object

Format

%myID = new class([name])
{
    [field = value;]
    ...
};

Where

• myID is the return ID that can be used to access the object in the form %myID.myFunction.
  
• new is the keyword telling the engine to create an instance of the following class.
  
• class is any class declared in the engine or in script that has been derived from SimObject.
  
• name (optional) is the object's name for referencing in the form name.myFunction (without % or $ before it).
  
• field - You may initialize static or dynamic class fields here, one at a time.
  

Example

// An SceneObject named 'Truck'
// with two static fields and one dynamic field to define
new SceneObject(Truck) 
{
   position = "0 0";
   size = "5 5";
   myField = 100;
};

// A nameless object (tracked by a variable), with no fields to set
%myObject = new SimSet();
