Hey, thought I would post my changes to KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator::PyInstantAddObject.


I needed this change to granularly send messages to my dynamically created objects.

KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator.h

Code:

KX_PYMETHOD_DOC_VARARGS(KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator,InstantAddObject);

KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator.cpp

Code:

PyMethodDef KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator::Methods[] = {   {"instantAddObject", (PyCFunction) KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator::sPyInstantAddObject, METH_VARARGS,"instantAddObject(name) : immediately add object without delay\n"},   {NULL,NULL} //Sentinel }; PyObject* KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator::PyInstantAddObject(PyObject* args) {     PyObject* pystring;    char* name = 0;    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s", &name))       InstantAddObject();        InstantAddObject(name);    Py_RETURN_NONE; } void   KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator::InstantAddObject(const char* name) {    if (m_OriginalObject)    {       // Add an identical object, with properties inherited from the original object          // Now it needs to be added to the current scene.       SCA_IObject* replica = m_scene->AddReplicaObject(m_OriginalObject,GetParent(),m_timeProp );       KX_GameObject * game_obj = static_cast<KX_GameObject *>(replica);       game_obj->setLinearVelocity(m_linear_velocity ,m_localLinvFlag);       game_obj->setAngularVelocity(m_angular_velocity,m_localAngvFlag);       game_obj->ResolveCombinedVelocities(m_linear_velocity, m_angular_velocity, m_localLinvFlag, m_localAngvFlag);         // If we have a new name, assign it.         if(name != 0)         {             game_obj->SetName(name);         }       // keep a copy of the last object, to allow python scripters to change it       if (m_lastCreatedObject)       {          //Let's not keep a reference to the object: it's bad, if the object is deleted          //this will force to keep a "zombie" in the game for no good reason.          //m_scene->DelayedReleaseObject(m_lastCreatedObject);          //m_lastCreatedObject->Release();          //Instead we use the registration mechanism          m_lastCreatedObject->UnregisterActuator(this);          m_lastCreatedObject = NULL;       }              m_lastCreatedObject = replica;       // no reference       //m_lastCreatedObject->AddRef();       // but registration       m_lastCreatedObject->RegisterActuator(this);       // finished using replica? then release it       replica->Release();    } }

If this is generally useful, you might want to create a patch and add it to the patch tracker:

Done, thanks for the tip.
