How to create an object by its name.

[thunder]

I'm totally a newbie in programming, and i'm trying to write my own plugin, here is my problem.

i know i can create an object by its ID using Loki.Game.LokiPoe.ObjectManager.GetObjectById(int), but the ID of the item keeps changing every time I create a new instance. So is there any function like GetObjectByName(string)?

Never mind, i'v figured out.

It would be nice and helpful if you posted how you solved the problem so that people can learn when they run into same problem, wouldn't it?

We will add wrapper functions to take care of this for users.

Otherwise, it's just using Linq:

var objects = Loki.Game.LokiPoe.ObjectManager.Objects.Where(o => o.Name == "Some Name");
// foreach objects or ToList it, or something.
or

var @object = Loki.Game.LokiPoe.ObjectManager.Objects.FirstOrDefault(o => o.Name == "Some Name");
// check @object against null to see if it exists
