Calling an object's set() method

Brisk

I have custom classes Primitive and PrimitiveBox. I am trying to use the set() method to set the value of the width data member.

Primitive *primitive = memnew(PrimitiveBox); ... String name = &quot;width&quot;; Variant value = 5; primitive-&gt;set(name, value);

Here are the relevant parts of PrimitiveBox's definition:

class PrimitiveBox : public Primitive { &nbsp; OBJ_TYPE(PrimitiveBox, Primitive); private: &nbsp; float width; ... };

I can provide more code if requested. By pausing and observing the value of "width" in GDB, I can verify that it does NOT change from the value I assign it in PrimitiveBox's constructor. What do I need to do to get set() to function? I've looked at calls to set() in Godot's codebase, but I can't see what allows those calls to work. Before someone suggests it, a set_width() method could work, but it wouldn't be ideal. I may end up implementing a Primitive that doesn't have a width, for example.

Finding the answer to your own question shouldn't be this embarrassing.Turns out I missed the obvious _set() methods that are defined in many classes in Godot's codebase. Adding it to PrimitiveBox (and as a pure virtual function to Primitive) solved the problem.[code]bool PrimitiveBox:GDN_set(const StringName& name, const Variant& value) {  if( name == "width" )    width = value;  else    return false;  return true;}[/code]
