RETypeDefinition
Type descriptor for objects in the RE Engine.
Returned from things like REManagedObject:get_type_definition() or sdk.find_type_definition(name)
Methods
self:get_full_name()
Returns the full name of the class.
Equivalent to concatenating self:get_namespace() and self:get_name().
self:get_name()
Returns the type name. Does not contain namespace.
self:get_namespace()
Returns the namespace this type is contained in.
self:get_method(name)
Returns an REMethodDefinition. To be used in things like sdk.hook.
The full function prototype can be supplied to get an overloaded function.
Example: foo:get_method("Bar(System.Int32, System.Single)")
self:get_methods()
Returns a list of REMethodDefinition
Filters out methods that are potentially just stubs or null.
self:get_field(name)
Returns an REField.
self:get_fields()
Returns a list of REField
self:get_parent_type()
Returns the RETypeDefinition this type inherits from.
self:get_runtime_type()
Returns a System.Type. Useful for methods that require this. Equivalent to typeof in C#.
self:get_size()
Returns the full size of the object. e.g. 0x14 for System.Int32.
self:get_valuetype_size()
Returns the value type size. e.g. 4 for System.Int32.
self:get_generic_argument_types()
self:get_generic_type_definition()
self:is_a(typename or RETypeDefinition)
Returns whether self or its parents are a typename or the RETypeDefinition passed.
self:is_value_type()
Returns whether the type is a ValueType.
Does not necessarily need to inherit from System.ValueType for this to be true. An example would be via.vec3.
self:is_by_ref()
self:is_pointer()
self:is_primitive()
self:is_generic_type()
self:is_generic_type_definition()
self:create_instance()
Returns an REManagedObject.
self:create_instance_gc_safe()
Like create_instance but also registers the object as a global in Lua for GC safety. The object will not be garbage collected by Lua.
self:get_types_inheriting_from_this()
Returns a list of all RETypeDefinition objects that inherit from this type.
self:get_fqn_hash()
Returns the FNV-1a hash of the fully qualified name.
self:get_crc_hash()
Returns the CRC hash of the type.
self:is_enum()
Returns whether the type is an enum.
self:is_array()
Returns whether the type is an array.
Meta-methods
RETypeDefinition == RETypeDefinition
Compares two RETypeDefinitions for equality. Returns true if they represent the same type.
