5. Variable Accessors

Set a variable from inside (MEMBER)

MEMBER keyword works as an internal accessor; MEMBER checks the encapsulation standard: is there a an existing object variable with the right name, and right type according to the instanciation of this class..

You can set a variable encapsulate by the object through the keyword MEMBER

private _foo = "foo";
MEMBER("foo", _foo);

or directly

MEMBER("foo", "foo");

There is some limitation relative to the translation of macro example with array, you can not use directly an array containing coma like this

MEMBER("foo", ["value1"`**,**` "value2"]);

you will have to use a temp array:

private _array = ["value1", "value2"];
MEMBER("foo", _array);

but this setter works fine:

MEMBER("foo", []);

In other try you can not define a variable value like this :

MEMBER("foo", nil) = foo;

But this kind of syntax works nice with array:

MEMBER("foo", nil) pushback "foo";

In the same way, you can use a foreach:

{ } foreach MEMBER("foo", nil);

Get a variable from internal

You can get a variable encapsulate by the object through the keyword MEMBER with usage of nil

private _yourvariable = MEMBER("foo", nil);

Get a PRIVATE variable from outside

You can set a special accessor to get a PRIVATE variable from outside of your object, using the FUNC_GETVAR macro.

PUBLIC FUNCTION("","getMyVariable") FUNC_GETVAR ("getMyVariable");
