Changing paremeters of an IRay object

[zaza5000]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the Tag and EndTime of a certain IRay object?

If not, is it possible to get all properties of the IRay, and recreate another one with different Tag and EndTime, but rest of the properties the same?

Thanks a lot for any help.

For any DrawObject, if you want to later access the properties, make sure that you assign the DrawObject an identity when you create it.

private iDrawObject = drawobject;

drawobject = DrawObjectType(signature)

After that you can use dot notation to change any of the properties.

drawobject.propery = newValue;

Is there a way to systematically create variables?
For example within a loop i: 1 to 20
drawobject1, drawobject2.... drawobject20 would be used as the new variable name?

Or is there a way of calling an IRay object through its tag? I think the tag is always unique right?

Because I don't have a specific amount of IRay's in my code, they're drawn and erased at certain times within the code, but there is no limit to how many of them there will be...

I just want to add a certain property to the code that will change the endtime of certain rays in some situations...

You seem to be saying that you will be creating an initially unknown number of drawobjects, and then may want to modify them. In that case, I think your only option would be to iterate through the drawobjects collection and modify what you seek.

Thanks a lot, that is exactly what I was looking for.
