I need to emulate proper structs, and I distinctly remember Michael Reitzenstein telling me that arrays and types in BMax do not conform to the standards that Structs in other languages do.
The C++ code looks like this :
/*
** HGE Vertex structure
*/
struct hgeVertex
{
float x, y; // screen position
float z; // Z-buffer depth 0..1
DWORD col; // color
float tx, ty; // texture coordinates
};
struct hgeQuad
{
hgeVertex v[4];
HTEXTURE tex;
int blend;
};
My BMax conversion ( since I don't normally need direct access to hgeVertex objects is this :
Type hgeQuad
Field Vertex1_X:Float
Field Vertex1_Y:Float
Field Vertex1_Z:Float
Field Vertex1_Col:Int
Field Vertex1_TX:Float
Field Vertex1_TY:Float
Field Vertex2_X:Float
Field Vertex2_Y:Float
Field Vertex2_Z:Float
Field Vertex2_Col:Int
Field Vertex2_TX:Float
Field Vertex2_TY:Float
Field Vertex3_X:Float
Field Vertex3_Y:Float
Field Vertex3_Z:Float
Field Vertex3_Col:Int
Field Vertex3_TX:Float
Field Vertex3_TY:Float
Field Vertex4_X:Float
Field Vertex4_Y:Float
Field Vertex4_Z:Float
Field Vertex4_Col:Int
Field Vertex4_TX:Float
Field Vertex4_TY:Float
Field tex:Int ' TEXTURES USE INTEGER HANDLES, JUST LIKE BLITZ
Field Blend:Int ' BLEND MODE - USE BLEND MODE CONSTANTS
End Type
And then, when I'm expected to pass a pointer to the hgeQuad Struct, I pass a VarPtr to an instance of my hgeQuad type. But I'm pretty sure it's incorrect, because I'm getting a crash elsewhere in the program which goes away if I comment out the line where I draw this quad.
