Man, I’m having a hell of a time porting my stuff over to Broomstick. Just now I realized that ObjectContainer3D.addChild expects another ObjectContainer3D but I’ve got five Object3Ds that I just want to put into that container. How do I do this in Broomstick?

actually, i should probably clarify something. I’m adding a couple of meshes to ObjectContainer3D which seems to work fine. Then, i’m trying to clone that ObjectContainer3D into five others but I can’t clone it as it gives me an error saying I can’t assign Object3D to ObjectContainer3D. So basically the issue may be that clone() isn’t working on ObjectContainer3D properly? Here is my code:

public function createChairs($num:int):void
  {
   clearChairs();
   
   var len:int = $num;
   var arcLength:Number = ((2 * Math.PI) / len);
   var angle:int = int(360 / len);
   var radius:int = 100;
   var chairClone:ObjectContainer3D;
   var pt:Point;
   
   for (var i:int = 0; i < len; i++)
   {
    pt = Point.polar(radius, (i * arcLength));
    
    chairClone = chairSingleContainer.clone();
    chairClone.z = pt.x;
    chairClone.x = pt.y;
    chairClone.rotationY = (-1 * (i * angle));
    
    chairContainer.addChild(chairClone);
   }
  }

What is the object type of charSingleContainer? If it is Object3D, why not append that to its own ObjectContainer3D and then clone it?

It’s an ObjectContainer3D (chairSingleContainer that is) and not allowing me to clone.

I just saw a note in the code for the clone() method in Object3D that says the following:

// todo: implement for all subtypes

Does that mean it’s just not in yet? From looking at the Object3D.clone() method it doesn’t even look like it creates clones properly either though I have not tried it out…

I’m having the same problem with pivotPoint. On the ObjectContainer3D it say ‘TODO: pivot stuff’. Broomstick is still in alpha. If there is a TODO you might just need to end up doing it
