  • Hello,

    What's the minimal code to put in the runtime drawing function of a plugin:

    instanceProto.draw = function(ctx, glmode){}

    and in instanceProto.drawGL = function(glw){}

    To draw nothing.

    If I put nothing, I get error messages.

    Does any of you guys have an example ?

    I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

  • I have several plugins that do this:

    	// only called if a layout object - draw to a canvas 2D context
	instanceProto.draw = function(ctx)
	{
	};
	
	// only called if a layout object in WebGL mode - draw to the WebGL context
	// 'glw' is not a WebGL context, it's a wrapper - you can find its methods in GLWrap.js in the install
	// directory or just copy what other plugins do.
	instanceProto.drawGL = function (glw)
	{
	};[/code:12o2ww9j]

  • Thanks for the quick reply.

    That's what I did, but I got a message error:

  • What does your GetPluginSettings section from the edittime.js look like. Sounds like a mismatch.

  • It looks like this:

    function GetPluginSettings()
{
	return {
		"name":			"ListModel",
		"id":			"aekiro_listmodel",
		"version":		"1.0",            
		"description":	"Stores and manipulate an Array of simple non-nested hashtables (aka dictionnaries).To be used as a model for a listview for example.",
		"author":		"AekiroStudio",
		"help url":		"https://later.com",
		"category":		"Data & Storage",
		"type":			"world",
		"rotatable":	false,
		"flags":		0
	};
};

I also tried the flag:  pf_position_aces | pf_size_aces | pf_angle_aces | pf_appearance_aces | pf_zorder_aces | pf_effects 
but I still get the same error.

Btw, I know that ("type" : object) is more appropriate for a data structure, but I went with  ("type" : world) because I need to be able to create, in the editor, multiple instances (by copy/paste) of a same type. you can't do that with a plugin of type "object" like an array, you can only clone it, which create a new type. I hope I was clear.

  • I don't know. There's not enough here to go on. Can you post the plugin? One of my data-only plugins is here:

    Edit: I think you do need 'object'

    Edit: you can call Create, to create new instances of 'object'

  • Yeah, I think I just need to go with the "object" type and let the user know that they need to programmatically create the instance.

    Thanks so much for your time.
