I read that you can write C++ in A7 version of GS. How do you switch between Lite-C to C++.
Thanks for taking your time.

There are 2 methodes for this:
1) You could write an engine plugin in c++ by using the plugin sdk.
2) You could use the engine sdk and call the engine from a c++ program. So the whole game is written in c++ and you just have to call the engine from c++.
Lite-C is very C++ oriented. And if you don't want to use some special c++ features which aren't supported by Lite-C, you can also use Lite-C.

I should have said, that the syntax of lite-C is similar to normal C or C++. But of course it has limitations in comparison with normal C. There are no structs for example, but this feature is planned to be implented.

I know that Lite - C is different, it uses C as a Base not C++. What I am talking about that on 3dgamestudio specifications on the website, it says in A7 version you can script C++. If you read what it says on www.3dgamestudio.com they say that in A7 you can script with C++. I am not talking about old A6. It is just same as you can import 3D Max or Maya models into A7.

In the 3D GameStudio specification on the website it's never said that you may script C++. Quote:
Lite-C is a lightweight version of C/C++, the language used for commercial games programming. But unlike C++, it's extremely easy to learn and the best way to get introduced into 'real' programming. Anything that's scary to a beginner, like memory and pointer handling, is automatically managed in lite-C.
Quote:
If you prefer to program in 'real' C++, Delphi or other languages, you can implement Gamestudio's engine into your own programs using the engine SDK. You can even continue to use lite-C as a scripting language; lite-C functions and variables can be called from your program and vice versa.
This means that you may use the engine (as a dll) in your own C++ code or
write your own C++ plugins so they can be used by the engine and lite-C.
Not that you can script in C++.
