Zugg Software :: View topic - Can class children like Alias be gathered for looping?

Beginner Joined: 23 May 2020 Posts: 18

An example of the desired effect, I have a class folder with all my aliases that relate to lock/unlock/close/open doors and I would like to create a new alias that calls the class Doors and collects the aliases within, so they can be looped and displayed.

I cannot seem to find a method that will call a class object in a way where I can access its child objects. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Not that I can think of...
The closest I can think of is just using #ALIAS all by itself.
(Which displays all currently enabled aliases.)

But that would only work if all of your aliases are grouped off into toggleable classes.

Something a that may work would be to have a var that contained names of all your aliases. Either a flat string list or db-wise, class as key and list of aliases as values.

Which you can then loop through. This could also give you a semi-automated method of enabling/disabling.
