Hi All,

I am trying to use COFFEE to scan all the objects in the scene.
I want to examine each object's name and if a match, then operate on it.
The operation is to Add a TAG to the object if the TAG is not present.

Is this possible in COFFEE node of expresso?

If so, what would the code look like?

It's quite easy to do with a recursive function call.

Example code browsing through all objects and printing the name of each object.

  
BrowseScene(op)  
{  
  while (op)  
  {  
      println(op->GetName());    //prints the object's name  
  
      BrowseScene(op->GetDown());    //recusive call of BrowseScene  
  
      op = op->GetNext();  
  }  
}  
  
main(doc,op)  
{  
  BrowseScene(doc->GetFirstObject());  
}

cheers,
Matthias

Thank you , Matthias.

So how would I make use of this in a COFFEE node? For instance, what if I want to output all the objects into a list so other xpresso nodes can process them?

Is this practical, or is it best to just remain inside the COFFEE node and try to write one massive process?
