object data acessors and iterators

[Lehel]

was wondering if anything like this exists already in a plugin or, if not, how much time would it take to implement:

say, object X has two variables assigned to it: "a" and "b". "a" has a string value and b has an int value.

a function to get the number of variables stored in it's personal array:

count = GetObjectVarCount(object o); //returns 2

int = GetObjectVarType(object o, 0) //returns a const VAR_TYPE_STRING
string GetObjectVarString(object, 0) //returns the value of variable "a"

etc.

[Lehel]

forgot: string s = GetObjectVarName(o, 0) //returns "a"

actually, i guess all variables are stored as strings?

I do not think something like this already exists, but it should be doable within some 2-3 days of debugging work (rough estimate).

The question is, why do you need this functionality ? There are plugins like the NWNX4 Hashset plugin that might offer a more elegant solution to working with sets of data on NWNX objects. It depends on what you want to do, really.
