I was just wondering if theres a function that will return the name of a scene node, i am trying to use an animator for more than one node and need the name of the node to determine which one has been clicked on, is this possible?

Thanks,
Dan

Hm, usually if you have the scene node, the property .Name should do it. But maybe I'm missing something here?

Hey Niko,
Thanks, .Name does indeed return the name of the Node, but what i really should have asked is if there is a way to get the name from a click.

The issue i am having is that i have an animator

var shieldclick = function(){						
					
					// Determine which shield holder is being clicked
		  
					// ajax request for specific shield details
					
					// elements
					name.Visible=true;
					name.setText('Name: '+shieldname);
					ammount.Visible=true;
					ammount.setText('Amount: '+shieldammount);
					recent.Visible=true;
					recent.setText('Recent: '+shieldrecent);
					team.Visible=true;
					team.setText('Team: '+shieldteam);								
		  }


var animator = new CL3D.Animator On Click(engine.getScene(), engine, shieldclick);
		  shield1.addAnimator(animator);		  
		  var animator = new CL3D.Animator On Click(engine.getScene(), engine, shieldclick);
		  shield2.addAnimator(animator);

so Shield1 and Shield2 are using the same animator, so when i click this, is there a way to find out which one has been clicked? Like is there a variable that stores the active scene node? i know the variable 'this' stores the scene information, but i couldnt find anything that stored any info on the Node i have clicked.

Thanks for your help,
Dan

One obvious way would be to put a variable into to the shieldclick function so that it knows the object you clicked on.
