Question

I have a class “Projectiles”, and I want to create an object with it.
To minimise code, I want to specify the object from a string, it would clean up thins alot.

Example:
I have the string,

tempenemy.atktype = @"homing_fireball";

Now i want to create an object with the same name from Projectiles class:

Projectiles *tempenemy.atktype;

Is this possible? So the final result would be an object from Projectiles class called homing_fireball..?

Thanks!!

I doubt that this is possible. But I’m not an expert for the inner core of objective-c.

I would suggest you to store your Projectile in a NSMutableDictionary. You could store the object with a key of @”homing_fireball”. And then you can reference it with something like

Projectile *someProjectile = [myProjectiles objectForKey:tempenemy.atktype];
