List content's path...

Basically I have a list that suppose to hold nothing but the following object (class? Not sure on correct term with BYOND).

AggroObj
    var
        mob/player = null
        aggro = 0
    proc
        ChangePlayer(var/mob/M)
            player = M
        AddAggro(var/num)
            aggro += num
        getName()
            if(player)
                return player.name
            else
                return "null"
        getPlayer()
            return player
        getAggro()
            return aggro
    New(var/mob/M)
        player = M


Now I want to be able to access these procs directly from the list, like so...

src.EnemyList[1].getPlayer()


The code above gives me an error and I assume it's because of type casting issues, it doesn't know the list can access those procs.

Well, I've defined EnemyList as so,

mob
    enemies
        var
            AggroObj/list/EnemyList = list()


I've tried doing other combinations as well.

Thanks ahead of time.


*EDIT*

I'd still like to know if I can do it from the list directly but something along the lines seems to work.

var/AggroObj/A = src.EnemyList[1]
A.getPlayer()


Again, would still like to know if the list is defined correctly, if I can skip the middle man and make the call directly from the list.

The way DM syntax works, you can't get procedures 'directly' from a list like that, I'm afraid.

You have to do the get-thing-into-typecasted-variable thing.

In response to Jp
That's what I was afraid of, thanks.
