Examples

1. VBScript Example

NewScene , false
set oDatabase = XSIUtils.DataRepository
set oCube = CreatePrim( "Cube", "MeshSurface" )
Application.LogMessage oDatabase.GetIdentifier( oCube )
Application.LogMessage oDatabase.GetIdentifier( oCube, siObjectGUID )


' Select an object out of model and in a model
SelectObj "Views.ViewA.UserCamera.camera,Cube,Scene_Root"
set oSelection = Application.Selection
for each oItem in oSelection
   Application.LogMessage oItem.name & " has ID " & oDatabase.GetIdentifier( oItem , siModelIdentifier )
   Application.LogMessage oItem.name & " has ID " & oDatabase.GetIdentifier( oItem )
next

'INFO : 60
'INFO : {76BD459D-0C6F-4AC6-8489-1F0AD4E31079}
'INFO : Camera has ID -1
'INFO : Camera has ID 97
'INFO : cube has ID 416
'INFO : cube has ID 60
'INFO : Scene_Root has ID 416
'INFO : Scene_Root has ID 416

2. JScript Example

/*
   Example demonstrating how to determine the Class ID and the SPDL file of an object.
   It also demonstrates how to use the Class ID to find all objects of a particular type in the scene.
*/

NewScene( null, false ) ;

GetPrimLight("Point.Preset", "Point", "");
GetPrimLight("Spot.Preset", "Spot", "");
GetPrimLight("Spot.Preset", "Spot", "");
GetPrimLight("Infinite.Preset", "Infinite", "");

// Get information about about one of the lights

var oDataRep = XSIUtils.DataRepository ;
var oLight = Dictionary.GetObject( "Point.light" )

var classID = oDataRep.GetIdentifier( oLight, siObjectCLSID );


// Now that we know the ClassID from one light we can discover all the 
// lights in the scene

var oLightsXSICollection = FindObjects( null, classID ) ;

Application.LogMessage( "Info about lights in the scene:" ) ;

for ( var i = 0 ; i < oLightsXSICollection.Count ; i++ )
{
   var oLight = oLightsXSICollection.Item(i) ;

   classID = oDataRep.GetIdentifier( oLight, 3 );
   var objectGuid = oDataRep.GetIdentifier( oLight, siObjectGUID );
   var spdlFile = oDataRep.GetIdentifier( oLight, siSpdlFile ) ;

   // Each light has a different Object GUID but they 
   // all share the same SPDL file and Class ID
   Application.LogMessage( "Name: " + oLight + "\t\tType: " + oLight.Type ) ;
   Application.LogMessage( "ClassID: " + classID ) ;
   Application.LogMessage( "Object GUID: " + objectGuid ) ;
   Application.LogMessage( "SPDL File: " + spdlFile + "\n" ) ;
}
