New functions: Pass object as parameter

Hey there

I think it�s (still, maybe in the future?) not possible to do this, but I�m asking it cuz you know more than me.

The new functions are really cool and useful, but, for example, if I want to create and object inside a function, I can pass parameters for example, the x or y positions of the newly created object, but, is there any way of passing the object to create in the function too?

As always, thanks for all your help!

I am currently using strings to check for which object to create in my function. The thing is in any Object-Oriented Languange, it is impossible to pass an object into a function without first creating the object(it will throw exceptions). You can use an enumerator or string and based on that to create the object in the function.

Ummm, ok, thanks man, it�s logical.

Anyway, I knew I couldn�t pass the object itself, but I was thinking if maybe the option of passing a string with the object name would be possible.

So, the solution is to pass a parameter (a number, a string) and make and if statement inside the functions, isn�t it? (sorry for this, my english is... well, there is no word to define it xD).

msv0001 - that's not quite right, in Construct 2 you can pass instances to functions by passing their UID as a parameter.

sirLobito - you have to pass a string and check for each possible value of the string in subevents right now - unfortunately you can't create an object by name (due to the fact the obfuscator on export will change object names).

due to the fact the obfuscator on export will change object names

That?s totally clarifier, ok, strings as parameters, no prob, thanks :).

Ashley - But if the instance is not creayed in the first place, there would be no UID. sirLobito was asking for a custom constructor as a function. Correct me if I have misinterpreted the question.
