I am new to programming with Objective-C and Stackoverflow, and I need some help.
I'm trying to get an object from a NSMutableArray and check one of its internal properties. I figured the best way to do this is by doing the following cast:
GenericRoom *room = (GenericRoom*)[myRooms objectAtIndex: currentIndex + side];
if (room.myType == EMPTY) {
return YES;
}
The problem is that when I create a class of type GenericRoom, your constructor already defines myType as EMPTY. When I insert the instances in NSMutrableArray, I changed to myType TAVERN this way:
NSMutableArray *myRooms = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:15];
for (int i = 0: i <15: i + +) {
GenericRoom tmpRoom * = [[GenericRoom alloc] initWithType: TAVERN];
myRooms insertObject: tmpRoom atIndex i];
}
But when I do the cast that quote up there, it simply creates a new instance of the object GenericRoom, instead of copying the object inside NSMutableArray, making its result is always YES, my failing vereficação.
Is there any better way to solve this problem? Thank you all.
