Convert Object to User Type Value

I need to use an Object Value to Create a Type Value.

How do I create a Local Value for a User Type from an Object Value?

Local TypID:TTypeId

For Local ObjTyp:Object = EachIn ActObj
	If TypId.ForObject( ObjTyp ).Name() = "Ladder"
		'I am Having trouble creating a Type Value from an Object.
		Local Lad:Ladder = ObjTyp			'Active Ladder
		Local UsrRot:Vector3df = Nde.GetRotation()	'User Node Rotation
		
		'Physics
		'*End of Ladder
		'*Next Ladder
		
		'Climb Ladder
		'*The Compiler Returns and Error.
		Lad.Nde.GetPosition()
	End If
Next


Thank you.

Why are you using Reflection for this? Why not just do For Local Lad:Ladded = EachIn ActObj?

To sort out different User Types. Not all Values in the "ActObj" Array are the same.

Local Lad:Ladder = Ladder(ObjTyp)

For Local Lad:Ladder = EachIn ActObj will give you only the ladders. Still want to do it the hard way?

Strict

Type A
    Field a = 5
End Type

Type B
    Field a = 10
End Type

Local actobj:Object[32]

For Local i:Int = 0 To 31 Step 2
    actobj[i] = New A
    actobj[i+1] = New B
Next

For Local woo:A = EachIn actobj
    Print woo.a
Next

For Local woo:B = EachIn actobj
    Print woo.a
Next
