string getColShapeType ( colshape shape )  

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: colshape:getShapeType(...)

Variable: .shapeType

Required Arguments

• shape: The colshape you wish to get the type of.

Returns

Returns false if invalid arguments were passed, or an integer of the type of the colshape, which include:

• 0: circle
• 1: cuboid
• 2: sphere
• 3: rectangle
• 4: polygon
• 5: tube

Example

This example outputs the type of all colshapes.

local circle = createColCircle(0, 0, 1)
local cubboid = createColCuboid(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
local sphere = createColSphere(0, 0, 0, 0)
local rectangle = createColRectangle(0, 0, 0, 0)
local polygon = createColPolygon(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
local tube = createColTube(0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

iprint("circle", getColShapeType(circle), circle:getShapeType(), circle.shapeType)
iprint("cubboid", getColShapeType(cubboid), cubboid:getShapeType(), cubboid.shapeType)
iprint("sphere", getColShapeType(sphere), sphere:getShapeType(), sphere.shapeType)
iprint("rectangle", getColShapeType(rectangle), rectangle:getShapeType(), rectangle.shapeType)
iprint("polygon", getColShapeType(polygon), polygon:getShapeType(), polygon.shapeType)
iprint("tube", getColShapeType(tube), tube:getShapeType(), tube.shapeType)
