I dont mean to be thick, but could someone please clarify a small point? I cant determine if an object is a SpherifyObject by using getclass( ), but the i.d. for one is 1001003.
   if ( obj->GetType()==1001003 )  println("a spherify object!");
Is this a SAFE way to recognize an object , or do the i.d. s  ever change in different versions of cinema  ...
cheers....

edit* I just noticed this is a coffee question. Sorry my response was for c++.
 
Try doing it like this instead

if(obj->GetType() == Osphere)
{
...
}

Besides being safe between different versions of cinema, its much easier to read

The IDs had better not change too often, or compiled C++ plugins would break. A prettier way, though no more dynamic, is to copy the enum or define from the C++ API to the top of your C.O.F.F.E.E. code. (I.e. so you could write Ospherify instead of 1001003.)

    
    
    const var Ospherify = 1001003;
