Type descriptor for objects in the RE Engine.

Returned from things like REManagedObject:get_type_definition() or sdk.find_type_definition(name)

Methods

self:get_full_name()

Returns the full name of the class.

Equivalent to concatenating self:get_namespace() and self:get_name().

self:get_name()

Returns the type name. Does not contain namespace.

self:get_namespace()

Returns the namespace this type is contained in.

self:get_method(name)

Returns an REMethodDefinition. To be used in things like sdk.hook.

The full function prototype can be supplied to get an overloaded function.

Example: foo:get_method("Bar(System.Int32, System.Single)")

self:get_methods()

Returns a list of REMethodDefinition

Filters out methods that are potentially just stubs or null.

self:get_field(name)

Returns an REField.

self:get_fields()

Returns a list of REField

self:get_parent_type()

Returns the RETypeDefinition this type inherits from.

self:get_runtime_type()

Returns a System.Type. Useful for methods that require this. Equivalent to typeof in C#.

self:get_size()

Returns the full size of the object. e.g. 0x14 for System.Int32.

self:get_valuetype_size()

Returns the value type size. e.g. 4 for System.Int32.

self:get_generic_argument_types()

self:get_generic_type_definition()

self:is_a(typename or RETypeDefinition)

Returns whether self or its parents are a typename or the RETypeDefinition passed.

self:is_value_type()

Returns whether the type is a ValueType.

Does not necessarily need to inherit from System.ValueType for this to be true. An example would be via.vec3.

self:is_by_ref()

self:is_pointer()

self:is_primitive()

self:is_generic_type()

self:is_generic_type_definition()

self:create_instance()

Returns an REManagedObject.
