Client Side Pointer Help

by Devildrew · in Torque Game Engine · 07/10/2004 (9:36 am) · 4 replies

I am trying to get a pointer to a client side object:

myObject* obj = dynamic_cast(Sim::findObject("nameofobject"));

i tried this command but it keeps getting me the server side object.

Thanks in advance.

Are you running a listen server? Why do you need the client side object?

I am writing an fx object that does the geometry and textures on the client side and the collision on the server side. I would like to make instances of this object so an object that is the same can share texture and geometry using a pointer to the client object.

I am not sure if i am doing this the right way, but htis is what i am trying to accomplish.

Thanks.

Client side objects don't get names; they are just ghosts of what's on the server. So you want multiple instances of the object to share information? Wouldn't a static work for that?

I created a Manger like your Texture Manager for sharing my specialized geometry, everything works great.

Thanks.
