AttributeSystem

Attribute System

Almost all C++ API objects like ParaUIObject, ParaObject, and even some global table like ParaEngine, expose a data interface via ParaAttributeObject.

The attribute system allows us to easily get or set data in core C++ object via NPL scripts, like below.

local attr = ParaEngine.GetAttributeObject();
local value = attr:GetField("IgnoreWindowSizeChange", false);
attr:SetField("IgnoreWindowSizeChange", not value);

In NPL code wiki, one can open from menu view::object browser to inspect all living core objects via the attribute system.

Please note script/ide/System/Core/DOM.lua provides a handy interface to iterate over existing core objects or even pure NPL tables.
