Hello,

I ran into strange behaviour where typeId appears to be different, depending on how I retrieve it…

engine->GetTypeInfoByName("Transform");
engine->GetTypeInfoByDecl("Transform");

both give me typeId=67108891, but at the same time, a property “Transform@ transform” which I query from it's containing class' type, when I do this:

type->GetProperty(j, &name, &property.typeId, &property.isPrivate, &property.isProtected, &property.offset, &property.isReference, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);

the property.typeId will be different → typeId=1140850715

What's even more surprising, when I use this number and query the type by id, it returns the same instance of asITypeInfo as the ones from first block:

engine->GetTypeInfoById(property.typeId);

will give same instance as listing #1. This is problematic for me because I use GetProperty to gather properties that I later serialize, and I have mismatch of typeId between my C++ registered types depending where this id comes from - from querying via GetTypeInfoBy* or from the GetProperty…

Any idea where this mismatch comes from? Is this an error or as expected?

Thanks, Miss! I suspected this could be the case, but when I did try to confirm it by retrieving typeId by decl “Transform@” I think this returned same id as for “Transform” and it confused me, making me think it shouldn't matter if it's handle or not, as the underlying type will be the same.

But it seems that indeed that's the case - I will check this again, but definitely GetProperty() returns “Transform@” type with additional flags.
