I don't exactly know if ptr_for_handle has a bug or not; but after some searchin on the forum and manual i thought there might be a bug at the ptr_for_handle function. When i save a panel's handle to a variable and callback the panel's pointer from ptr_for_handle i get an error message or my code doesnt work right. I made a test both with an entity and a panel. For entity everythng works perfect as it has to be but when it comes to panel problem beguns. Is thre something i have to do extra to convert a panels handle to a pointer; or is this a bug?? If u reply me with info about it i ll be real glad. I ll try a workaround or wait for next update to change the script of my project according to ur reply...
Best Regards
PS: I use A7 10.1 Comm. Edition...
I also added the script of my test to the bottom of the post...
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
PANEL* dummy_pan;
ENTITY* dummy_ent;
var handle_var;
void main()
{
wait(4);
level_load("villa_terrain_2.hmp");
wait(4);
camera.tilt=-15;
dummy_pan=pan_create("bmap = 350z_tablo.bmp;",1);
handle_var = handle(dummy_pan);
you=ptr_for_handle(handle_var);
set(you,VISIBLE);
wait(2);
dummy_ent=ent_create("masa4.mdl",vector(0,0,0),NULL);
handle_var = handle(dummy_ent);
you=ptr_for_handle(handle_var);
set(you,TRANSLUCENT);
}
Model becomes transparent, but panel doesnt become visible with ptr_for_handle.
