Object Heirarchys

[Gila]

I was wondering what the heirarchy was in for the objects in SGDK.
For instance:
                          ProjectObj
         GamePlayer
     PlayerSprite       rMap
rDef


I showed how to access rMap and how to Access PlayerSprite.
It also how to access rDef of PlayerSprite.
I was looking at the scripting reference. As en example:
PathObjects. How would you go about accessing it? Would it be,
ProjectObj.GamePlayer.rMap.PathName ??
The reference shows the syntax for each of the object properties, but now how to properly get the object by heirarchy.

I was just wondering if there was some kind of graph or model that shows this.
Thank YOu

No, there's no graph to show this, but the scripting reference has everything you need to know how to get objects.  It's just not particularily easy.  Just start where you think the object exists.  In this case, you assume the path object's immediate parent is the map object, so look in there to see if there is a Path object.  Lo and behold, there it is.  Be careful not to use rMap.Path, which returns the filename of the map.  Use rMap.Paths(PathName) which will return the path object referenced by either the name or ordinal index of the path on that map.

Actually there is kind of a graph/tree on the main help contents page.  It doesn't show all the ways you can access one object from another, but it does show the basic structure of objects in GameDev.
