Creating a new object from a given object type?

[Frostt]

Hey all,

I'm making my own serialization script, and I can't seem to figure out how to create a new object based on a given class type - for instance, if the save file has the word Item, I would like to be able to tell RMXP to create a new instance of the class Item.

In other languages it's pretty easy to do, such as in C# where you do  Activator.createInstance( type ) and it makes the object.

Is there a way to do this in RGSS?

Thanks!

Yes, there's such a method in Ruby: Object#const_get(anString)

An example:

class Item
  def initialize
    p 'Some output.'
  end
end

a = Object.const_get('Item').new  # => Some output.
