[Bf-python] game object property access

[Thomas Dyar]

Hi,

I implemented a getGameProperties() method on the Object class that returns 
a dictionary of property name, value pairs. I am open to design suggestions 
for more functionality, but right now I just wanted python GUI's to be able 
to read some of the game engine settings, not necessarily write them. Any 
comments? Should it be committed? :)


Object.h file needs this line added:

#include <DNA_property_types.h>


Object.c additions:

static PyObject *Object_getGameProperties (BPy_Object *self);

static PyMethodDef BPy_Object_methods[] = {
...
{"getGameProperties", (PyCFunction)Object_getGameProperties,     METH_NOARGS,
         "Returns dictionary of game properties and their values"},
...
}


static PyObject *Object_getGameProperties (BPy_Object *self)
{
	PyObject *key, *val;
	PyObject *propertyDict = PyDict_New();
	bProperty *prop;

	prop= self->object->prop.first;
	while(prop) {
		key = Py_BuildValue("s", prop->name);
		if(prop->type==PROP_BOOL) {
			val = Py_BuildValue("b", prop->data);
		}
		else if(prop->type==PROP_INT){
			val = Py_BuildValue("i", (int)prop->data);
		}
		else if(prop->type==PROP_FLOAT || prop->type==PROP_TIME){
			val = Py_BuildValue("f", *((float*)&prop->data));
		}
		else if(prop->type==PROP_STRING){
			val = Py_BuildValue("s", prop->poin);
		}
		PyDict_SetItem( propertyDict, key, val);
		prop= prop->next;
	}
	return propertyDict;
}
