SimSet::isMember: is not an object(solved)

#1 You are going to have to give us an example of how you are using it to generate that message, but I'm suspecting you are trying to do something like:

SimSet::isMember(%someObjectID);

which is not correct usage.

#2 I know how to use simset

every time an object do not belong to asimset the engine echo this message to console:

SimSet::isMember: is not an object

#3 Can you show the relevant code or make a simple example where the message pops up?

#4 Every time when an object is not amember of asimset try it

#5 I just tried it and it worked exactly how it's supposed to. It returned zero and did not write any warnings to the console. Please show the relevant code or make a simple example as Tom suggested so we can try to pinpoint your problem.

#6 I tried:

new SimSet(temp);
temp.isMember(tank);
echo(temp.isMember(tank));

Worked fine - tank is a named object in the levelbuilder. Echoed out "0" and no other messages in the console. Perhaps you are using an old build, I don't understand what you're trying to do, or you are using the function incorrectly or with objects that don't exist.

I think this would be a lot simpler if you just posted some code ;)

-NOOOOO! Beaten by Thomas again... You'd think we'd be able to coordinate better...

#7 This is how i write it

function table::draw_mycards(%this,%carddeck)
{ 
%this.set = new SimSet();
for(%i=0;%i<13;%i++)
{
%myobject= new t2dStaticSprite()
    { 
       scenegraph = %this;
       class="cards";
       config="mydatablock";
    };
%this.set.add(%myobject);
}

$mycardsdeck=%this.set;//now this hold my simset 

 if($mycardsdeck.ismember(%myobject))  
    echo("member");
}

#8 Well the first thing is that I'm pretty sure you make new SimSets using

new SimSet(set);

Not the way you did it.

That should fix it.

#9 Im shure i can write like that
%this.set = new SimSet();

look at C:\Program Files\TorqueGameBuilderPro\games\tools\levelEditor\scripts\saving.ed.cs(37):

#10 When I tried it like that, I got an error when I called isMember. Did you try it my way?

#11 Yes i tried it and its work but why my syntax do not work?

#12 No idea. I'd just use what works ;)

#13 $brushSet = new SimSet();

if ( $brushSet.isMember( %brush ) )
$brushSet.remove( %brush );

look at this code its work to so its not the problem C:\Program Files\TorqueGameBuilderPro\games\tools\levelEditor\scripts\projectManagement.ed.cs(284)

#14 I found out!!!
my problem is that sometimes %pickObj is not an object so when i ask:
$mycardsdeck.ismember(%pickObj)
i get the message SimSet::isMember: is not an object

so i just add this to my code:

if(isObject(%pickObj))

and all works

thanks alot for your help tom && stephen

#15 Cool!

#16 Bumping a very old thread because I had a similar issue. I'm using multiple Simsets and have code to check which one an object belongs to. I didn't want it outputting to the console.log everytime I performed the check. You can edit the TGB source code to remove this. In the Console/SimSet.cc file, around line 455, comment out the Con::printf line as below -

ConsoleMethod(SimSet, isMember, bool, 3, 3, "(object) @return Returns true if specified object is a member of the set, and false otherwise")
{
   argc;
   SimObject *testObject = Sim::findObject(argv[2]);
   if(!testObject)
   {
      //Con::printf("SimSet::isMember: %s is not an object.", argv[2]);
      return false;
   }

   object->lock();
   for(SimSet::iterator i = object->begin(); i != object->end(); i++)
   {
      if(*i == testObject)
      {
         object->unlock();
         return true;
      }
   }
   object->unlock();

   return false;
}
