Clonescript

Hello,

Help needed.

I want an object to be cloned x times ( variable " kopieaantal" ), my script doesn't work.

Code:

count = l1

function Clonel1(){
for (kopieaantal1=0;kopieaantal1<count;kopieaantal1++) { //loops for the number l1 
   image = this.GetName() //gets name of object
   this.CloneObject()
   
   }
}

Thanks for every help.

gr.

Hi Ronnie,
By your use of this.GetName(), I'm presuming you are trying to declare a function inside a script action attached to an object trigger.
Functions don't work inside script actions -- you have to put functions into a Script Object.

cheers

When you say "doesn't work", what exactly happens, and what were you expecting to happen?

I want an object to be cloned by the variable " kopieaantal".

Example:

On page 1 an user can give a number a text input field, this number is a pub variable. On page 2 a frame ( or object ) is visible one time, now the frame has to be cloned x times ( variable " kopieaantal" ).

Lets say the number ( kopieaantal ) is 3, I want to display on page 2 3 (cloned ) frames!!

Gr.

Are you calling the function? Your code doesn't show you calling it anywhere.

What I mean about what do you expect to happen, is that if you just clone an object, an identical object will appear on top of the old one, and you probably won't be able to tell any difference. You need to do something with the clone to make it useful - i.e. move it.

Code:

count = l1 

function Clonel1(){ 
for (kopieaantal1=0;kopieaantal1<count;kopieaantal1++) { //loops for the number l1 
   image = this.GetName() //gets name of object 
   var clone = this.CloneObject() 

    clone.MoveY(kopieaantal1 * 10)
 }

Dave,

Thank you for comment,

The cloned object will be moved horizontal (x) by its width or (y) by its height, the user can choose.

I will give more info later this weekend.

Thanks already for your reply.
