+ Code Snippet

ProcedureCDLL.l OurObjectExist()
 object.l=1
 If OpenLibrary(1, "DBProBasic3DDebug.dll")
 While DBGetObjectExist(object.l)
 object.l=object.l + 1
Wend
  
  CloseLibrary(1)
  
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn object
  EndProcedure

I keep getting 3 for the return. What I want this procedure to do is return the number that makes DBGetObjectExist(object.l) return 0

In DBPro I say

+ Code Snippet

NULL = PP Initialized() ` Initialize PurePLUGIN system here.


make object cube 1,10
make object cube 2,2
a=our object exist()
b=our object exist()

do
loop

I want to do is

+ Code Snippet

NULL = PP Initialized() ` Initialize PurePLUGIN system here.

a=our object exist()
b=our object exist()

make object cube a,10
make object cube b,2

do
loop

in what you want to make, A and B will return the same value.
You may, under DBPro do this :

+ Code Snippet

A = Our Object Exist()
Make Object Cube A, 10
B= Our Object Exist()
Make Object Cube B, 2

Inside your PurePLUGIN's TPC Plugin, do this :

+ Code Snippet

ProcedureCDLL.l OurObjectExist()
  ObjectCHECK.l = 0
  Repeat
    ObjectCHECK = ObjectCHECK  + 1
   Until DBGetObjectExist( ObjectCHECK ) = 0
  ProcedureReturn ObjectCHECK
 EndProcedure

You do not need to open DarkBASIC Professional's DLL from your TPC, PurePLUGIN do the job for you

You only have to use DarkBASIC Professional wrapped commands

This sample may work correctly

@Freddix
Oh crap. I was calling my commands one after each other no wander it was returning the same thing no objects was existing when they were being called. My command works now thanks for pointing that out.

Ok so pureplugin does the opening of the dll I am trying to use.

Just tried it and it worked fine

+ Code Snippet

ProcedureCDLL.l FreeObject()
 object.l=1
  While DBGetObjectExist(object.l)
 object.l=object.l + 1
Wend
  ProcedureReturn object
  EndProcedure

Man you made this easy

+ Code Snippet

ProcedureCDLL LoadStaticObject( Filename.L, ObjectNumber.L)
  file.s=PeekS(Filename.L)
  DBloadObject(file.s,ObjectNumber.L)
  SC_setupObject( ObjectNumber.L, 0, 0 )
EndProcedure

Ok thats simple. I want it to load an object that part works fine if I remove

+ Code Snippet

SC_setupObject( ObjectNumber.L, 0, 0 )

What I want is for it to load my model assign it an object number then set it up for sparkys collision. Easy huh? But its not working. You may be wandering why I want to do something easy like this. Its not done I have a function that reads the dbo file for limbs. Limbs 1,2,3 are for LOD and Limb 4 is a collision model. So I am just laying out some test code and fill in the blanks later. I must be doing something wrong in the wrapped version of SC_setupObject

if you have DLL dependencies (and SC_SetupObject create a dependency with Sparky's DLL)
you must be sure that somewhere in your DarkBASIC Professional source code, it exist at least 1 command from the Sparky's DLL. This will force compiler to include the SparkyDLL in the .EXE and then PurePLUGIN Plugins will be able to use it.

In generic terms.
If Your PlugIN X use another plugin Y You must be sure to have at least 1 command from the plugin Y in your DarkBASIC Professional source code to force compiler to include the Plugin Y in the compiled .EXE

Thanks Freddix. You solve one of the problem. I had to do this to get it to work

+ Code Snippet

ProcedureCDLL FreeObject()
    object.l=1
    While DBGetObjectExist(object.l)
      object.l=object.l + 1
    Wend
  ProcedureReturn object
EndProcedure
;*****************************************************************************************************

ProcedureCDLL LoadStaticObject( Filename.L,ObjectName)
  ObjectName=FreeObject()
  file.s=PeekS(Filename.L)
  DBloadObject(file.s,ObjectName)
  SC_setupObject( ObjectName, 0, 0 )
  EndProcedure
;*****************************************************************************************************

My command is

+ Code Snippet

LoadStaticObject "filepath$","ObjectName$"

The second parameter is the name I give the object. FreeObject() gets an unused object number. In LoadStaticObject() has a parameter ObjectName in which is equal to whatever FreeObject() comes up with.
What I want to do is make and object give it a name so it can be used by other commands

+ Code Snippet

LoadStaticObject "create/create.x","create2"
position object create2,10,0,5

In above create2 is equal to 0 in the postion object command.Is there a way to get the numeric value from create2 so I can pass it from cammand to command?

What you'll have to do is to create a dim .s value in PureBASIC to store the objects names.

That may produce something like this :

+ Code Snippet

Global Dim ObjectNAME.s( 65536 )

ProcedureCDLL FreeObject()
    object.l=1
    While DBGetObjectExist(object.l)
      object.l=object.l + 1
    Wend
  ProcedureReturn object
EndProcedure
;*****************************************************************************************************

ProcedureCDLL LoadStaticObject( Filename.l, Name.l )
  ObjectID=FreeObject()
  file.s=PeekS( Filename )
  GETObjectNAME.s=PeekS( Name )
  DBloadObject( file.s, ObjectID )
  SC_setupObject( ObjectID, 0, 0 )
  ObjectNAME( ObjectID ) = GETObjectNAME
  EndProcedure

If you want to do a function to retrieve the ID of the named object, do something like this :
(it's not optimized but it may work

)

+ Code Snippet

;*****************************************************
ProcedureCDLL.l FindObjectNumber( Name.l )
  GETObjectNAME.s=PeekS( Name )
  ID.l = 0
  Repeat
    ID = ID + 1
   Until ObjectNAME( ID ) = GETObjectNAME Or ID > 65535
  If ObjectNAME( ID ) = GETObjectNAME : Retour = ID : Else : Retour = 0 : Endif
  ProcedureReturn Retour
 EndProcedure
