Hello,

I'm think of using DGSDK rather than DB for my next project. Some commands I will be using alot are PickObject, using the mouse to select the object it is currently positioned over and ghost object to make some object semi-transparent,

Anyone know if these are available with the SDK as it says not all commands are crossed over to SDK from DBPro.

Thanks for any help,

Yes dbGhosObjectOn(objnumb) is in DarkGDK about pickobject maybe dbPickObject(objnum) but I'm not sure about this last! See the DarkGDK API

Thanks Jna99

I found some posts reporting that the GhostObjectOn command wasnt working anymore

Does it work on your PC?

Are we given the option to install the first version? Or when you buy do you have to install the latest version, I'd prefer to download a version which has this function working.

Cheers

Ghost object is currently broken, yes, but should be fixed on the next release (hopefully soon).

As for dbPickObject(), I can vouch for that one: It works as I use it quite a lot on my project.

I have vague plans for World Domination

Thanks Miguel,

I'm glad pick object is in there, and have found out about the ghost object not working, although i did find this:

- Ghosted objects do not appear (although cloned ghosted do) from Morcilla, has anyone else tried this to see if it works, may be a good work around until a fix is released.

waiting for my purchase to be confirmed so cant try it myself yet,

thanks

i have tried the cloned ghosted object as suggested above.

it changes the appearence of the cloned objects although does not achieve semi transparent effects - the cube in the background remains hidden by the front one,

any other ideas to get semi-transparent objects?

cheers

I created this thread regarding ghosted objects, although I have not tested it on NON textured objects. I'm unsure if the effect works on NON textured objects. Anyway, the link is as follows:
