You know when you type in a command (eg. make matrix) in the status bar it tells you what attributes that command needs (eg. MAKE MATRIX Matrix Number, Width, Height, XSegments, ZSegments).
It would be cool if the editor would also provide this help with the functions I declare myself. I keep on mixing up the attributes I need to include in my own functions, so I always have to search my entire project for that function to cross-check what I have to write. It would be much faster and less stressy for lazy people like me just looking down the screen and voila there's the answer to all my problems (well, some of them... )
It would be cool if someone could mabe write a dll or something like that to include this feature in the editor.
Smile and be happy, things could be worse!
So I smiled and was happy, and things got worse...

Agreed. The author of the editor works for another company (which also sells DBPro) - his website is at http://www.realgametools.com and the forums are http://www.realgametools.net/forums

You would get a better response there.

In the meantime, if you have a function you use a lot - you can add it as a command.

Create a new .ini file in the [YourDBPInstallationFolder]\Editor\Keywords folder, and put the command in the form:

YOURFUNCTIONNAME=[NoHelp]=Param1,Param2,Param3

Look at the other ini files in there for examples.

It will then be treated just like a DLL command by the editor.
