[Dev]Add "Key" to logic

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion
#1

Each object in blender has a “key” that is it’s unique object address

like

own = cont.owner

so if I convert this to a string, for network message,
own.sendMessage_“Subject,str(own)”

I can’t convert it back…

I need

target = key(message.bodies[0])

to convert a string into a game object address, or UUID or whatever you want to call it.

Edit - Solution Send ID not object key,

Try this

Thank you sir!

Ok still a no go for sending as a string and converting back…

found a work around using scene.objects

I am adding the items with a “Factory”
so I can store the added item keys in a list to be recalled instead of scene.objects
if I get that heavy into this.

I cannot see the problem.

Never mind,

I see you have send and receive in the script as modules,

Edit:still points at the same object as the message problem…

#7

Here is the solution you proposed hacked in,

Space = spawn unit
B= spawn factory

try space,b,space,b (there is a timer)

mine works, the other solution does not,

in solutionnope, I send a message in text.003 and receive via text.004 but both track factory 1

in solution(1) I just sort through and find the workers,

Your example files are far too complex, and without documentation. From what you’ve told me, it seems to work. Have you ensured the subjects for the messages are correct?

#9

sender-

if sens.positive:

(tab)own.sendMessage(“Factory”,str(id(own)))

reciever

if message.positive:
get_obj = own.scene.objects.from_id
obj = get_obj(int(message.bodies[0]))
own[‘target’]=obj

and I use the target to move the navtarget,
in this example it both points to factory 1

in mine worker 1 goes to factory 1, and worker 2 goes to factory 2

#10

Ok documentation,

“Ai factory adds Ai” Ai spawns navtarget - space key

if Ai[‘target’]!=Empty -> move navtarget to target, activate steering

Factory Factory B key
adds “factory”
Factory sends message subject “Factory” body - str(id(own))

Ai receives and does,
get_obj = own.scene.objects.from_id
obj = get_obj(int(message.bodies[0]))
own[‘target’]=obj

#11

in solution(1)

I just cycle through scene .objects and set target and working=true

Edit: -> NM I found the error of my ways, they were just all getting the next message :smiley:

reciever


import bge
from bge import logic


cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
own = cont.owner
scene=logic.getCurrentScene()
message=cont.sensors['Message']


if message.positive:
    import bge
from bge import logic


cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
own = cont.owner
scene=logic.getCurrentScene()
message=cont.sensors['Message']
prop=cont.sensors['prop']
if message.positive and prop.positive:




   get_obj = own.scene.objects.from_id
   obj = get_obj(int(message.bodies[0]))
   own['target']=obj
   own['working']=True

prop is a property

Working=False

Thanks Goose, now I think I can actually use .sendMessage for many things,

We need a “solved by” so that kudos can go to solvers. :smiley:
