is it possible to access and manipulate objects that have been already loaded by DBP? if so, how do you do it? also, is it possible to use DBP commands in your dll?

Thx in advance

yes, it is possible. You need the TPCSDK, or IanM's library (easy way). Or you could get the handle of the 3D dll then load pointers to the DBP commands inside (fun way).

@TKF15H: where do you find the tpcsdk? and how do you get the handle for the 3d dll?

1) download the 5.8 globstruct that's in the sticky.
2) Start a DLL project in VS6
3) #include <globstruct.h>
4) use the following function to get the globstruct pointer:

It will be called automaticly from DBP.
5) Once you have the globstruct pointer, you can do this to load a command:

6) Finally, you can just call RotateObject( objectNumber, angleX, angleY, angleZ);

nah, C/C++ ignores all the spaces. It's just that I copied-pasted this code from my own interface library, where it made more sense to have spaces there for some reason.
