Try;
Code:
Prototype ACObject *new_object(int type);
and
Code:
Prototype void object_add_vertex(ACObject *ob, Vertex *p);
or
Code:
Prototype Vertex *object_add_new_vertex(ACObject *ob, Point3 *p);

Default Re: Please Help!

ive been kinna neglecting making my plugin ...and ive been busy elsewhere :lol:
but im trying to get back to it.

im thinking i will just make it as an importer rather than a tool with tcl(mabye ill make a tool later)
but all the samples that came with the sdk are old, so right now i dont know how to "register" an importer.

Quote:
ac_register_file_importer(char *name, char *suffix, char *desc, ac_file_importer_func func, char *info);
ok so i make a ac_file_importer_func function, but what exactly is it suppose to return?
how do i make an ac_file_importer_func function that returns a ac3d model?
if anyone has any importer code, that they could send me, that would be awsome.

monstar: creating the object wasnt the my problem, it was getting it back to ac3d. sorry should have explaind myself better.

When you add an importer, you pass the funtion that AC3D will call to load an object e.g.

Code:
    ac_register_file_importer("3DS", ".3ds", "3D Studio", ac_import_3ds, ac_import_3ds_info);


ACObject *ac_import_3ds (char *filename)
{
// open the file
// create AC3D object structures
// return the top object
}
the sv import code from the SDK is a simple example of how to create an object structure.
