Hi Everyone,

I did notice that now we have this new command “MakeMemblockFromArray” in the .NET version to use in the memblock section but I can’t find any example on how to use it. If some one has been able to use it could you post an example on how to us it.

Thanks

Good! I was to ask Paul about it but just forgot. Don't know how to use this function, so it was not included in the preview of DarkEngine.

Paul! Help us here!

To be honest, I can't actually tell you how to use the function because it's not documented in DGDK either. The second argument requires an address to an array in memory, but not a managed array. So for example, it could be potentially used in C++ if you've created a correctly formatted array structure in memory and you pass the address of the array.

I believe that the function was used as part of the DBP language for managing internal array creation of sorts, but unless Mike or Lee explains what the function is for, I can't say any more on it.

It's only available in the .NET toolkit because it was also available in DGDK (C++). Both toolkits don't explain the function's use in their respective documentation.

Paul.
