If you mark them as @public you can automatically do the above though. You also can access self as a struct pointer. Instance variables are @protected by default—what James Yopp said is incorrect.

In a role playing game the player drinks a potion displayed as a colored bottle. Your stats change accordingly. POTION is your Testclass it contains int deltastrenght = 5; int deltastamina = -2; int effectsduration = 10; bool hasEffectOnElves = NO; And the main class of your game register those values when the player drinks that potion. “I imagine there is a good use case for this, I’m just not sure I know what it is…if you can think of one, please post a comment.”

POTION is your Testclass
it contains

int deltastrenght = 5;
int deltastamina = -2;
int effectsduration = 10;
bool hasEffectOnElves = NO;

And the main class of your game register those values when the player drinks that potion.

eg. testClassAsStruct->mypreviouslyDeclaredMethod()

If no, I would ask by the way, maybe you know if it is possible at all in ObjC/iPhone to call methods with dot syntax, so like this:

myClass.myMethod(var)

Try it by using tmp->testString, etc. in the above code.
