How to obtain handles from objects in scene in plugin
Posted: 06 Mar 2024, 18:43
Hi,
I've been playing with plugins a bit and wanted to have access to the handle of a specific object in the scene which I know its name. How could I do this from inside the plugin?. In general, how could I obtain information from the simulation back into the plugin?. I've seen that in the OpenGL3 plugin in each message they receive a data pointer, and start grabbing the information from there, like this:
Thanks in advance

Code: Select all
if ( (message==sim_message_eventcallback_extrenderer_mesh)&&(currentOffscreen!=nullptr) )
{
// Collect mesh data from CoppeliaSim:

float* vertices=((float*)valPtr[0]);

int* indices=((int*)valPtr[2]);
int triangleCnt=((int*)valPtr[3])[0];

float* colors=((float*)valPtr[8]);
C7Vector tr(C4Vector((float*)valPtr[7]),C3Vector((float*)valPtr[6]));
bool textured=((bool*)valPtr[18])[0];
float shadingAngle=((float*)valPtr[19])[0];
