Detailed Description
Request/reply: get/set a property of a named simulation object.
- To retrieve an property of an object in a simulator, send a
- PLAYER_SIMULATION_REQ_GET_PROPERTY request. The server will reply with the value array filled in. The type of the data varies by property and it is up to the caller to cast the data to the correct type: see the warning below.
- To set a property, send a completely filled in
- PLAYER_SIMULATION_REQ_SET_PROPERTY request. The server will respond with an ACK if the property was successfully set to your value, else a NACK.
- **WARNING** Types are architecture-dependent, so this feature may
- not work correctly if the simulator is running on a different architecture than your client. The value bytes are transmitted as a raw binary object: no architecture-specific type conversions are performed. Use with caution.
