Defining static attributes in OOP

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have this code

local bridgeClass = {}
bridgeClass.__index = bridgeClass

bridgeClass.bridgeColors = {
	{Color3.fromRGB(0,200,0),Color3.fromRGB(200,150,0),Color3.fromRGB(200,0,0)},
}

function bridgeClass.new(model, bridgeType)
	local newObject = setmetatable({}, bridgeClass)
	newObject.model = model
	newObject.bridgeType = bridgeType
	newObject.playersOnBridge = {}
	newObject.playerAmount = 0
	
	return newObject
end

return bridgeClass

And I was wondering if bridgeClass.bridgeColors could be considered a static attribute. If not, then how would I make one?

#2

Well yes, but it’s bad practice to index enums from an object. Do it from the original class instead.

#3

Where is the enum? The bridgeColors?

Why is it a bad practice? My objects would need to use that table, not the class.

#4

If the object needs it then it’s completely fine, but if the object makes any changes to the bridgeColors then it should be a stored variable.
And with enum, I mean bridgeColors.
