Is it possible to have two programs in DBPro running at the same time that do different stuff and act together as one program. For example have each of the two programs make a cube and move it around the screen and it's all happening on the screen at the same time?

position object MyFoot,object postion x(yourAss),object position y(yourAss),object position z(yourAss)

You might be able to do it with the mulitplayer commands, I don't know as I haven't used them but I think it would be possible.
Or you could communicate between the two programs by having one program writing info to a file and the other program reading it and acting accordingly.

Here is some code that uses a file to communicate one-way between two programs.

Run twice in windoed mode at a res low enough to fit the two programs on your desktop.

Use the arrow keys to rotate the cube with in the window with host=1 in.

click the code button below this post for code.

This code does the same using multiplayer commands.
