NifGetNumBlocks

This is a command from NifSE.

Syntax

(short:numBlocks) NifGetNumBlocks short:nifID

Returns the total number of blocks in the specified NIF file. Every block is a NiObject-derived class that can be indicated by using the blockID argument in various NifSE functions; the blockIDs starts with 0 and sequentially numbers each block until all of the blocks are numbered.

Example

This script will go through all of the blocks in the NIF, and print the type of each.

short nifID
short numBlocks
short blockID
...
let nifID := NifOpen "some file path"
let numBlocks := NifGetNumBlocks nifID
let blockID := 0
while ( blockID < numBlocks )
  Print "Block #"+$blockID+" is type %q"+(NiObjectGetTypeName nifID blockID)+"%q."
  let blockID += 1
