Attributes by class

[michaelk]

What's the trick to getting objects created w/ VS (and their sub objects) to use class attributes and textures?

I've tried a couple things:

NameClass(TargetClass);

SetClUseGraphic(TargetClass,TRUE);

… create object …

That doesn't do it.

I've also tried creating the object first and then

SetClass(H,TargetClass); (TargetClass is an existing class with Use at Creation checked.)

As always, a million thanks.

Hi Michael,

this function sets all the attributes of the object by class:

def setStyleByClass(h):
   """
     Dem Object die Stil-Attribute der Klasse zuweisen
   """        

   # Füllstil
   vs.SetFPatByClass(h)
   # Füllfarbe
   vs.SetFillColorByClass(h)   
   # Durchsichtigkeit
   vs.SetOpacityByClass(h)     
   # Linienstil    
   vs.SetLSByClass(h)
   # Linienstärke
   vs.SetLWByClass(h)
   # Stiftfarbe
   vs.SetPenColorByClass(h)    
   # Textstil 
   #vs.SetTextStyleByClass(h)    
   # Marker
   vs.SetMarkerByClass(h)   

Is this what you need?

Yes. Thanks.

I thought there was a global byClass setting.

I don't see a SetTextureByClass(h)

Am I missing something?

I don't have a complete answer, but if you look at this page on the Dev Wiki, Pat Stanford made some comments a while back on how to get an object to texture by class.

SetTextureRef

Hopefully this helps?

EDIT:

You may want to use vs.SetTextureRefN, but I don't know that the same "-1" method applies, as I haven't tried.

That's very helpful! SetTextureRef did it.

When it stops working I'll figure out what a TextureLayerID is and use SetTextureRefN.
