hey i need help (both mentally and physically)
i downloaded some third party dll's and stuff, but i dunno how to use them lol. i can use the load function, but how do u call the actual command from the dll? i enter "cameramovement()" from the IRQ camera controls dll, but DBP picks it up as an error, cause it cant find the command (it thinks im using dbp's set of commands). help?

If it's a tpc dll then you just move it into
C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional\Compiler\plugins-user\
Then use the commands like normal db commands.

If it's not a tpc dll then you do
load dll "my.dll",1
call dll 1,"Function",arguments
`if it returns a value do
a = call dll(1,"Function",arguments)
delete dll 1
