i think that thee is a bug in the dbCloneObject() function... not only does it not accept 3 params (intellisense shows an overloaded version of the function that should take 3 args, but the linker gives the error below if 3 args are tried), but also, i'm getting the impression that there is some data being shared amongst the cloned objects...


SoftShadowShader.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl dbCloneObject(int,int,int)" (?dbCloneObject@@YAXHHH@Z)
C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK - FREEWARE Edition\Projects\SoftShadowShader\Release\SoftShadowShader.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals


i'm trying to translate evolved's soft shadow shader DB code over to c++... this is how i found this...

Dude - I saw that too. I have a theory - that the third parameter is perhaps a "non released" thing. I didn't check the docs but that third parameter I'm pretty sure isn't used in the Dark Basic Pro - and I bet internally they have one method "Clone" and the third flag decides Instance or Clone. Just a guess - but I might get lucky here and be right. I want truth be known on this one myself though - so if you or anyone else has something they wish to share...

i think the additional function overloading is missing that would allow it to accept the additional arguments that the DBPro function allows...

Does the dbpro function allow the third param? I didn't think so. Does it?

yep... i think so... i'm running version 1.063... the third arg is the shareddataflag...

type clone object into your ide (if you're using the default ide) and look at the bottom help assist panel... it should show the required args for both of the overloads...

Yuppers. Hmm... Well... If its bugged - I hope the default one we are stuck with STILL saves resources over just loading the object over and over... but still allows individual limb positions.

(Instance gets weird... If you instance an object, then rotate the limb of say the original, then both object's limbs moves. Good for dance routines I suppose or making a bunch of soldeirs walk in formation )
