TorqueScript: Reading ShapeName value?

#1 Really no clue?
I'm very disappointed there is no getShapeName method or something in the like for non DataBlock objects.

I wanted to compare my objects based upon their filename and the shape being used.

#2 Well...

I have a TSStatic object named Pyramid1.

When I go into my console and type:

echo(Pyramid1.shapeName);

It replys with the path and filename of it's DTS.

Quote:shapeName= "~/data/shapes/blah/myshape.dts";

The field name that you set is "shapeName", it is the same field that you would access if you want to read it again.


Example:

new TSStatic(MyStaticTS) {
          shapeName= "~/data/shapes/blah/myshape.dts";
          myCustomVariable = "some value";
   };

   echo(MyStaticTS.shapeName);          // replys: ~/data/shapes/blah/myshape.dts
   echo(MyStaticTS.myCustomVariable);   // replys: some value

#3 Thanks Brian, I only feel more stupid now, I tried objectID.shapename(); but it is objectID.shapename; instead.

Why isn't there any use of the parenthesis with this method? it would already be solved. ;-)

Thanks again.
It was really bugging me down.

Edit: because it is not a method!
