[Bf-committers] GE object instances Id?

[Mitchell Stokes]

Yes and no. If I understand you right, you want to do something like, "if
object a is a sheep, do this". This you can't do, since Blender itself does
not recognize this kind of OO thinking. All instances of game objects that
are made from the same blender object, and yes, each pid will be different
every time the game is run.

Now, to fix the issue. I believe YoFrankie! gives each object a property.
Like, the sheep have a sheep property, or something like that. In Python,
you can check to see if an object has the property your looking for.
Following the sheep example:

own = GameLogic.getCurrentController().getOwner()

if hasattr(own, "sheep"):
    print "I'm a sheep!"

I hope that helps.
