LinkedRef

[lee3310]

Does linked ref works both ways ? e.g:

A.SetLinkedRef(B, mKW)
B.GetLinkedRef(mKW) == A ?

or do i have to duplicate it ?

A.SetLinkedRef(B, mKW)
B.SetLinkedRef(A, mKW)

Thanks

Second. In first case B doesn't have LinkedRef(mKW), because why should.

Thought so. I was hoping that if A is linked to B also means that B is linked to A (lighten the scrip).

Writing a virus? ;)

 

ps. I'm not sure actually, if there isn't such a function to retrieve parent ref(s), maybe somebody else knows better.

Yes linkedrefs can be queried from the target by GetRefsLinkedToMe which retuns an array for multiple connections on the same keyword.

 

 

A. SetLinkedRef(B, mKW)
A. GetLinkedRef(mKW) == B

 

B. GetRefsLinkedToMe(mKW) == A

Too bad GetRefsLinkedToMe() doesn't work if apLinkKeyword = None. (Not sure why).

Excellent, thanks.

So if i understand correctly, you can't link one reference to multiple objects using one keyword

A. SetLinkedRef(B, mKW)

A. SetLinkedRef(C, mKW)

A. SetLinkedRef(D, mKW)

but you can link them all to one reference and use GetRefsLinkedToMe() or, chain-link them together like this:

A. SetLinkedRef(B, mKW)

B. SetLinkedRef(C, mKW)

C. SetLinkedRef(D, mKW)

and use A.GetLinkedRefChain(mKW).

Good to know :thumbsup:
