Find object by name!

[Isoprog]

Hi,
I have three nodes with same id mask. While selected each node will behave differently. So, I have to find which node is selected. How do I find it. I am finding it by name. I just want to know what is the right way to find a node while id are same.

Thanks in advance.

Well, if the name is enough to identify the nodes and all works as expected, this IS the right way, i'd say.

You could also compare pointers or implement a comparison operator.

Thank you for the reply.

use Irrlicht map or std::map

things like

cpp Code: Select all

 
ObjectType * p = MyMap[string("object name")];
 

are allowed, and search times become O(log(N)) instead of O(N)

I will try that, thanks. I am using strcmp. Once I get rid of other problems I will recheck.

Regards.
