I came from Director’s Lingo (Shockwave), and have been wondering if there is a way to do anything like the following? It is what Lingo calls a Property List, and the variable people will contain two “properties”, each that are in turn also property lists. Finally, the lists can contain any type of variable, not just all floats, or strings, etc.
people = [#paul: [#age: 40, #nickName: "paulygon"], #jen: [#age: 39, #maidenName: "smith"]]
jenAge = people.jen.age
now jenAge will be the integer 39
This looks oddly like a hash
MyDogs={'Sally':{'colour':'brown','height':2.5},'Spike the destroyyer':{'colour':'Evilish black','height':99.9}}
Spike_the_cutey=MyDogs['Spike the destroyyer']
Ofcourse classes are maybe what you want though : something to do with constructors…
Excellent. Thank you, I would never have thought to expand my seach into the 3rd language dimension!
3rd language dimension?
This should work on C# too but you have to declare every fields type I think
I’ve not studied Boo (your reference to it is now in editing heaven, making this post very odd and between only you and I ). I haven’t stumbled upon examples using it, so it remains to me, the third and most mysterious language at Unity’s disposal… only because i’ve got my brain full of C# and JS.
and your example code was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
SharpDevelope has a feature that can convert C# to boo script
Would you like to learn more about Boo?
I only want to learn ANY language as much as necessary to get the job done. I’d rather be making the pretty models instead! I admit it, I’m another wanna-be who tentatively learns the code.
Haha how bout you do the modeling and I do the scripting? 
On the other hand conquer one language and you’ve conquered them all
DragonReeper got me pointed at the pinata. The closest I could come to figuring this out was a dose of FizixMan awesomeness that pretty much broke my brain here. I just didn’t know what it was called. I can’t believe it’s that complex… and I never expected to miss anything about Lingo! The price of running with the big dogs I suppose.
I tried DragonReeper’s dog code above couldn’t even figure out how/where to use it. Is it Boo? Can anyone explain it a bit further?
