Types or Structs 1

[fugigoose]

Is there a way to declare a type or struct in director like you can in Visual Basic and C++. Like instead of a variable being a string or a integer, its a rabbit? Like in VB I can do something like this;

Public Type Rabbit()
weight as integer
speed as integer
name as string
coat as string
End Type

Right now I have to use property lists in Director so i have somethign messy like this:

animals = [#rabbit1:[#wieght:10, #speed:5], #rabbit2:[#wieght:12, #speed:4]

I kinda want to be able to create imaginary lists so like i can declare a variable as a list, without telling it whats in the list. ex:

rabbit1 = newRabbit

and rabbit1 will automatically have all the rabbit object's properties in it. If theres a way to do this in director, I will have even more respect for it than I already do.

u can create parent script objects: try the following

-- parent script rabbit
property weight
property speed
property name
property coat

on new (me)
-- initialize all properties here
weight = 10
return me
end
-- end parent script

u will have to call it like this

rabbit1 = script("rabbit&quot.new()
put rabbit1.weight
