Names as string[] array instead of string for Nodes

[Sevdat]

Good morning,

How can I change the names of objects to be as a string[] array instead of just string? If I create many objects and I need to detect their names as a path then it would be at O(1) speed to get names for the objects by using arrays than parsing a string with split. For example:

Path string:

string name = "sphere/1"

path string[]

string[] name = new string[]{"sphere","1"}

If I have many objects, it would be more efficient to use name[0] to check where the object belongs to than to use name.Split() no?

So how do I change the source files in Unigine to achive that?

I tried this:

but it gives the error:

Or how can I add an extra struct to the Node so that I can create additional data? for example, name2

Hello.

The name inside the engine is a string. and unfortunately there is no way to change this.

alternatively, you can look towards "extension methods" in c# or other "dirty" hacks

Good day cash metall,

I wrote every possible combination. I used namespace, classes, static etc. I can't even get it to appear here:
