Referencing variables of a "Reference"

[psykel]

Been looking into how to pull this off, seems trivial. Basically I create a references using getObject(), but I want to then reference that items "x" variable, but I seem to not be able too. For reference I would assume this:

Code: Select all

decl self = getobject();
self.x = {0,OSC_ARGS};

but that doesn't compile. I want to use references because I don't want to have to change a ton of script names because this particular object will be duplicated a bunch...

What am I missing?

What you're looking for is:

Code: Select all

decl self_x =  getexpression(self,'x');
self_x = {0,OSC_ARGS};
