I'm writing a behavior that needs to adjust its behavior for different plugins. So I need to be able to check which plugin the behavior is attached to. But type.plugin doesn't seem to have any properties that could be used to identify it. I suspect I'm missing something obvious, but I've been all through the docs and can't find anything.

Does anyone know how to get the plugin id or otherwise identify it?

Thanks.

You might check official drag&drop behavior.

Thanks for the tip. I went all through that code a few times, but I can't see what it is you're indicating.

I did find a purely JavaScript way to do it:

if (typeof cr.plugins_.Spritefont2 == "function")
	if (cr.plugins_.Spritefont2.prototype.isPrototypeOf(this.inst.type.plugin))[/code:11xuxh4b]
That works well enough, but it's kind of clunky.  I'm hoping there's a C2-specific approach that's more direct.  Something like [i]this.inst.type.plugin.id[/i] would be a gem.

	function GetDragDropBehavior(inst)
	{
		var i, len;
		for (i = 0, len = inst.behavior_insts.length; i < len; i++)
		{
			if (inst.behavior_insts[i] instanceof behaviorProto.Instance)
				return inst.behavior_insts[i];
		}
		
		return null;
	};
[/code:3hk231xp]

, the core is [code:3hk231xp]inst.behavior_insts[i] instanceof behaviorProto.Instance[/code:3hk231xp]
-> object instanceof type
Sorry for not clearly.

To test if there has Cr.plugins.spritefont2, just

Cr.plugins.sprutefont2 != null
