Dynamic Classes
- Extend Dynamic to create your own Dynamic Classes
- A Class Builder to quickly generate basic Dynamic Classes
- You dont have to muck around with Dynamic Member Offsets to improve performance
- All of the same features that come with Dynamic Objects

I just finished a basic web based class builder.

I used these settings to...

Generate this methodmap...

#if defined _dynamic_class_person_
  #endinput
#endif
#define _dynamic_class_person_

methodmap Person < Dynamic
{
    public Person()
    {
        // First we make a new dymanic object
        Dynamic myclass = Dynamic(128, 0);

        // Next we will define all the members
        // -> We do this to force the offsets to always be in the same location
        //    over multiple instances of the same class.
        myclass.SetString("Name", "Some guy that knows you", 256);
        myclass.SetInt("Age", 27);
        myclass.SetFloat("Height", 6.2100000);

        return view_as<Person>(myclass);
    }

    // Note that I use static offsets to access members.
    // -> This improves performance by caching member offsets
    // -> This is why we force the members in during the contructor
    // -> Failure to force members in the constructor will cause corruption

    public bool GetName(char[] buffer, int length)
    {
        static int offset = INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET;
        if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
        {
            offset = this.GetMemberOffset("Name");
            if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
                return false;
        }
        this.GetStringByOffset(offset, buffer, length);
        return true;
    }

    public void SetName(const char[] buffer)
    {
        static int offset = INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET;
        if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
        {
            offset = this.GetMemberOffset("Name");
            if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
            {
                this.SetString("Name", buffer);
                return;
            }
        }
        this.SetStringByOffset(offset, buffer);
    }

    property int Age
    {
        public get()
        {
            static int offset = INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET;
            if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
            {
                offset = this.GetMemberOffset("Age");
                if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
                    return 27;
            }
            return this.GetIntByOffset(offset, 27);
        }
        public set(int value)
        {
            static int offset = INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET;
            if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
            {
                offset = this.GetMemberOffset("Age");
                if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
                {
                    this.SetInt("Age", value);
                    return;
                }
            }
            this.SetIntByOffset(offset, value);
        }
    }

    property float Height
    {
        public get()
        {
            static int offset = INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET;
            if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
            {
                offset = this.GetMemberOffset("Height");
                if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
                    return 6.2100000;
            }
            return this.GetFloatByOffset(offset, 6.2100000);
        }
        public set(float value)
        {
            static int offset = INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET;
            if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
            {
                offset = this.GetMemberOffset("Height");
                if (offset == INVALID_DYNAMIC_OFFSET)
                {
                    this.SetFloat("Height", value);
                    return;
                }
            }
            this.SetFloatByOffset(offset, value);
        }
    }
}

Which can be used like this in a plugin!

#include <dynamic>
#include <dynamic-class-person>
#pragma newdecls required
#pragma semicolon 1

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    Person person = Person();
    
    char buffer[1024];
    person.GetName(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
    
    PrintToServer("Person.Name = '%s'", buffer);
    PrintToServer("Person.Age = '%d'", person.Age);
    PrintToServer("Person.Height = '%f'", person.Height);

    person.Dispose();
}
