What is the fastest way to get a list of objects of a specific type in the current scene?
I am currently using GetHighest() and then go through all objects in the scene and grab the specific objects. Is there a faster way?
Thanks!

Since the objects aren't indexed in any way, I think the theoretical complexity is linear in the number of objects. So just going through each object in the scene would be the fastest way.

I assume that you have verified this as a bottle neck in your plugin. (Otherwise you have committed the sin of premature optimization... ;-) But I think you're out of luck if that's so. What kind of plugin is this btw?

Yes, I do have a recursive function in use right now...

Hehe, no I haven´t and it´s actually really fast enough. Haven´t thought it would be so I guessed maybe there´d be a function I have overseen in the SDK like FindObjectType or something :)

For sale promotional reasons I won´t go into details if you understand ;)) I need to find all cameras in a scene so I can list them. See my conf in fc for details :)
Thank you!!
