How to use Object.typeName() method?

[nerobotParticipant]

I need to get type of objects as string value.

I looked into monkey module and found method typeName() in Object class, but it returns ‘Void Ptr’ type. Also there is a function TypeName that converts CString into String.

How to get simple String type?

If I just add this code line

Monkey

Local n := comp.typeName()

1	Local n := comp.typeName()

then I got compiler error

Monkey

..../Demo_code_2muCore.cpp:575:29: error: invalid conversion from 'const void*' to 'void*' [-fpermissive] void* l_n=l_comp->typeName();

1 2	..../Demo_code_2muCore.cpp:575:29: error: invalid conversion from 'const void*' to 'void*' [-fpermissive] void* l_n=l_comp->typeName();

I solved it by adding method

Monkey

Method GetType:String()="typeName"

1	Method GetType:String()="typeName"

into Object class and rebuilding module.

Now I get types like this:

Monkey

t_muApp_Transform t_default_Logic

1 2	t_muApp_Transform t_default_Logic

by simple call of myObj.GetType().

This is what I need!

Another question: how to get type if I have only class name but not instance?

In java it’s ClassName.class keyword, but it’s a part of reflection.

What I d0:

Monkey

Method GetComponent<T>:T() Where T Extends Component     Return _componentsMap.Get( [T.typy] ) 'how to get type here? End

1 2 3

Method GetComponent<T>:T() Where T Extends Component     Return _componentsMap.Get( [T.typy] ) 'how to get type here? End

I think I can use an inner structure with stack like in ted2.Plugin class, but it’s kind of magic for me how it extract data with our template type only.
