*setcurrentbagentitytype()

Syntax

*setcurrentbagentitytype (entity_type)

Type

HyperMesh Template Command

Description

This command is used in the *format level of a template to set the queried entity type of the bag to entity_type. Subsequent references to bag entity data names entitylist and entitylistmax in the template will then be based on the entity type that was set using this command, until *setcurrentbagentitytype is called again with a different entity_type.

Example

The following code in the HMASCII template loops through all the entity types in the database for each bag and writes out the ids of the entities, if present:

*bags()
  *before()
    *end()
    *string("BEGIN BAGS")
    *end()
  *format()
    *string("*bags(")
    *field(integer,id,0)
    *string(",")
    *field(quotedstring,name,0)
    *string(",")
    *field(integer,config,0)
    *string(",")
    *field(integer,color,0)
    *string(")")
    *end()
    *if([attributesmax > 0])
       *string("  *attributesforentity(BAGS,")
        *field(integer,id,0)
        *string(",")
        *field(integer,attributesmax,0)
        *string(")")
        *end()
        *include(attribs)
    *endif()
    *counterset(counter1,1)
    *loopif([counter1 <= globalentitytypesmax])
      *setcurrentbagentitytype([@getdatabaseentitytypename(counter1)])
      *if([entitylistmax > 0])
        *end()
        *string("*bagentitytype(")
        *field(string,[@getdatabaseentitytypename(counter1)],0)
        *string(")")
        *end()
        *string("*bagentitylistmax(")
        *field(integer,entitylistmax,0)
        *string(")")
        *end()
        *counterset(counter2,0)
        *string("*bagentityidlist(")
        *loopif([counter2 < entitylistmax])
          *pointerset(pointer1,entitylist,counter2)
          *field(integer,pointer1.pointervalue,0)
          *if([counter2 < (entitylistmax - 1)])
            *string(",")
          *endif()
          *counterinc(counter2)
          *if([counter2 == entitylistmax])
            *string(")")
            *end()
          *else()
            *if([counter2 % 9 == 0])
              *end()
            *endif()
          *endif()
        *endloop()
        *end()
      *endif()
      *counterinc(counter1)
    *endloop()
    *end()
  *after()
    *string("END BAGS")
    *end()
*output()
