You can add any type of SimObject to a Simset.

Adding objects to a SimSet is as simple as can be

new Simset(MySimSet);

%sprite_object = new Sprite();

MySimSet.add(%sprite_object);

You can find all SimSet-related Script functions here

and how would i go about testing it example i teted the SceneGroup like:

if (sceneobject.getSceneGroup() == 4)

how would i do thisd with Simset

ps. It's great to hear from you Simon :-)

if(MySimSet.isMember(%sprite_object))

I highly recommend reading through the SimSet_ScriptBinding.h file that Simon linked in his post, there are many practical examples documented in that file which show how to use SimSets, it's not just code in there.
