Hi all !

can you help me about this :

i need to copy a property from an object to another, but in python !

and how to custom property name like that :


property = another+"i"

i is a int variable

thx :wink:

You should probably explain what your doing better. You can get other objects in the scene with:
import GameLogic
scene = GameLogic.getCurrentScene()
obj = scene.getObjectList()[ā€œOBobjectNameā€]

Once you have the object, you have a copy of all itā€™s properties like
health = obj.health + 10

ok thx itā€™s ok for the first one.

I explain what i want to do :

i want to duplicate an object with parented objects.

the parented objects need to know some property of the parent.
itā€™s possible with the solution you give.

but when you duplicate an object, the new object is rename (like armature.001 => armature.002)

so the python script take always the property of armature.001 and i want it to take it from armature.00x

i canā€™t write infinite script for all duplicated objects.

i remember in action script (flash) that it was possible to to that:

property = [object+ā€œiā€].property

with i a variable

and the cumputer read ( i=10 ):

property = object10.property

an other idea : if i can found the parent object of an object, my problem is over.

thx :slight_smile:

You can change the last numbers to a string and get information. This isnā€™t the code you would need but might help you understand what you need to do.


name = "OBArmature"
n = 0.0
for i in range(1,10):
     n = n + .001
     print name + str(n)[1:]

Another thing you can do is keep a list of names:


GameLogic.Armatures = ["OBArmature","OBArmature.001"]
for name in GameLogic.Armatures:
     obj = scene.getObjectList()[name]
     obj.property = obj.property + 10

For child objects it is easy to find the parent with getParent().
I couldnā€™t find a way to identify the children of an object.
