    Hi,

    my Problem is that I have two stages called: "GUI" and "Machine" with some actors attached to each ofc.

    What I'm trying to do is to manipulate one membervariable of an actors VSL-Script in "GUI" while I'm in an actors VSL-Script from "Machine".

    How can I access any other stages actor?

    I know the function GetStage() but this is retrieves the current stages. What I'm searching for is some kind of GetStageByResourceID() or GetStageByName() or GetPermanentStage() or GetRoot()

    Best regards,
    Marius

    Hello Mariustreu,
    If your stages and actors are not dynamically loaded, you can add a member (m_Actor, type vkActorPtr) in your behavior of the actor of the "Machine" stage. Then, set as value the other actor, of the "GUI" stage.
    So you will be able in your VSL code to modify all the members of the other actor:
    if(m_Actor != NULL)
    {
    BehavPtr myBeh = m_Actor; // "Behav" is the name of the behavior of the GUI actor.
    if(myBeh != NULL)
    {
    myBeh.m_Member = "TOTO"; // m_Member is a member of the behavior "Behav"
    etc...
    }
    }

    You can too, directly set the behavior as member (type BehavPtr)
    I hope i'm quiet clear and that my answer could help you.

    NKL.

    This sounds useful but where do I see / can I set the value of an actor?
    Thanks for the quick response!

    You can set it in the "Assemble" sheet, in the property view of your actor.
