finding property in an object

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion
#1

does any1 know if there is a python function to see if a property exists in an object

for example when
enemy = ray_sen.hitObject

then i want to check if climb property exists inside enemy. so it would have - enemy[‘climb’]

just using the ray sensor with a property name does not really help me, since i want to use the ray sensor on all objects, but it would act differently if they have a climb property or not

maybe a function that gets the list of all properties would be also useful, if it exists

#2

This checks for the property “climb” in the hitobject, and if it returns True, it runs the function ‘is_enemy()’

enemy = ray_sen.hitObject
if "climb" in enemy:
	is_enemy()
def is_enemy():
	#do whatever here

Here is some code that gets all the object’s properties…

for property in enemy.getPropertyNames():
	#prints the name of the property
	print(property)
	
	#prints the value of the property
	print(enemy[property])

Agoose is correct, except for a line -


enemy = ray_sen.hitObject 
if "climb" in enemy:     
     is_enemy() 
def is_enemy():     
     #do whatever here
