Making object [ConveyorSystem] with Flexscript

wooram_kim — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 08:02:06 GMT

I want to make a ConveyorSystem without dragging a conveyor object into the model.

Therefore, I used the following script and it seems to work well. Is it a proper way?

Object conv_system = createcopy(maintree().find("project/library/conveyor/ConveyorSystem"), model);
conv_system.name = "ConveyorSystem";

But the following script does not work, even though the manual recommends using treenode.copy() instead of createcopy(). What is the difference?

Object conv_system = maintree().find("project/library/conveyor/ConveyorSystem").copy(model);
conv_system.name = "ConveyorSystem";

Thank you.

The 'proper' way would be to use the "create()" method of the Object class.

Object.create("Conveyor::ConveyorSystem")

I don't know why copy() doesn't work and what differences there are between the commands though.
