what does obj.meshes return?

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

I have a simple if statement which says

cube = scene.objects['cube']

class cubeitem:
    def __init__(self, ammo):
        self.ammo = 10
cubeitem = cubeitem(10)

if click.positive:
    print(obj.meshes)
    if obj.meshes == cube:
        print(cubeitem.ammo)

until the second if, the code works fine, it prints the objects mesh (which can change in the game) as [cube], yet the second if statement does not run, even when the conditions are theoretically correct.

what am I doing wrong? why won’t the second if statement work?

I think obj.meshes returns a list of the meshes on a game object.

I hope you know what is the difference between game object and mesh.
If you have two cube meshes in your game object, then you should use
obj.meshes[0] for the cube with idx 0 and obj.meshes[1] for the cube mesh with idx 1

You can not access a mesh in a game object with a name(because meshes have no names, only the mesh group have name) but only with its index.

Ah, yes, it returns a list, thank you very much, not sure why that flew over my head!

Comparing a list or a mesh (I guess this was the original intention) with a game object will never evaluate to True, even if they have an equal name.
