Is there a way to find all objects that use a particular schedule?

I am creating an openstudio power outage measure using openstudio CLI (command line interface) that modifies all the schedules in the entire model.

First, I wrote a code to modify the schedule file. Then, I created a loop to identify each schedule and translate them to a ruleset with three parts: pre-outage, outage, post-outage.

I am stuck on the step where I need to pull out all the model objects that use the original schedule, so I can change schedule from the original one to the new outage ruleset.

in Ruby:

model.getSchedules.each do |sch|
 < a lot of code here >
 model.getModelObjects.each do |obj|
       # Find obj whose schedule == sch (STUCK HERE)
  end 
end

Thanks

ScheduleBase is a child class of ResourceObject. The ModelObject class has a resources method that returns a list of ResourceObjects directly used by instances of that class. So one way to get all model objects that use a particular schedule would be:

objects = []
model.getModelObjects.each do |obj|
  if obj.resources.include?(schedule)
    objects << obj
  end
end

That won't tell you _how_ the object uses the schedule - i.e. as an availabilitySchedule or something else, just that the object references the schedule somewhere.

Clever approach. Unfortunately it only gets @catknitski halfway there; they will still have to write object-specific code/logic in order to swap out the appropriate schedule.
