Hello, I really appreciate anyone who has time to read this and help, Thanks up front. I'm very new to python, having picked it up for the first time a week ago, but I feel I'm very close to getting this working.
Here's what I'm trying to do: - call python scripts from game code - have those called scripts call functions that are back in game code The first part looks easy enough to do if I use, ppembed or something. The second part has been driving me nuts, because I thought I had a solution and now I just feel defeated. I've gotten SWIG working and built a .dll extension with functions in it to be loaded from python and communicate with my game. I've successfully imported it into a python interpreter and called functions in it. The problem is I haven't figured out how to make those calls call functions in my game application. If I load the same .dll from my game and pass in a structure full of function pointers, the communication from the game to the .dll works... but then the module I am using in the python interpreter is not the same one, as if its a copy. My question is.. How do I get python scripts to call functions in my game code without having to build a .dll that has the entire meat of my game inside of it? Ultimately I want to be able to load scripts from my game and have those scripts call functions in my game code. Example: - game calls script's "onDamage" function - script sets various variables, and then calls "swapModel" function in game Thanks, Joe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
