GetComponent
Description
Used to determine object components.
Syntax
int / id GetComponent(id component, int index);
Parameters
- component:
- [opt] Object component of which to determine the count. If not specified, index is used and the id of the component is returned.
- index:
- [opt] Index of the component to be returned. This parameter is ignored if component is specified. Returns the id of the indicated component which can then be used to determine the count in a subsequent call to GetComponent.
Remark
Also see Properties.
Example
var i,cid,num; while (id = GetID()->GetComponent(nil, i++)) if ((num = GetComponent(id) - GetID()->GetComponent(id)) > 0) while (num--) CreateObject(id);
Creates all components which are still missing in the calling object (e.g. in a construction site) in front of the object.
