Osiris/API/GetSurfaceTypeIndex

Full Definition(s)

• query GetSurfaceTypeIndex([in](STRING)_Surface, [out](INTEGER)_Index)

Description

Returns the _Index of a _Surface in the internal numbered list of surface types.

Return Values

• Success/Failure: Never fails.
• _Index: The index of a surface. Returns -1 if the _Surface does not exist, or if there is no surface.

Notes

• This call is mainly useful if you need to handle surfaces in behaviour script and Osiris simultaneously - the SURFACE type in behaviour script can be converted to an integer with this call and then set with SetVarInteger.
• The surface types page lists the surfaces in the same order as they exist in the internal list, starting at -1 for SurfaceNone.
