Hey there. My name is Chris, and I have just started playing around
with writing bots. I am using AX Logic's Java implementation
(http://www.axlogic.com/aw/).

Is there any way (short of String parsing with the action field) to use
an object's name in an object search?

If not, I think that splitting out the name into a new field would be a
good idea for a future release. Otherwise, how do you search for a
specific object among several using the same model? Use coordinates? I
would think name would be the most logical way.

Anyway, thanks for listening to the ramblings of a newbie. I hope to
learn enough to contribute at some point, instead of just ask questions.

What Langauge?

Its quite simple.. but better suited for the SDK NG...

You get the action command and parse it first by ';' into tokens. Sleepy had
the best idea...

static char Tokens[AW_MAX_ATTRIBUTE_LENGTH][AW_MAX_ATTRIBUTE_LENGTH];

Once you have done that you then do a loop, and tokenize each token within
that to ','

You can then loop though each 1 and use stricmp on the first 5 bytes of it
to see if its 'name ' and the token is the name, then its just a matter of
strlen(Tokens[iInternalToken])-5

Hope that helps, its the only way to do it really.

Hi Chris,
There's no integrated search engine in the aw sdk,
You will need to query the world and parse the action field yourself.

Remember that the scripting function 'name' allow several objects to use
the same name :)
