dna	Hello. I was converting this function Method Create:SimpleProgressBar(_x:Float,_y:Float,_w:Float,_h:Float,_minValue:Short,_maxValue:Short,_text:String="",_colorR:Byte=0,_colorG:Byte=255,_colorB:Byte=0) x = _x y = _y w = _w h = _h text = _text minValue = _minValue currentValue = minValue 'the current value defaults to the minimum value... maxValue = _maxValue colorR = _colorR colorG = _colorG colorB = _colorB Return Self End Method --v to B3D and wante to know what the statement : Return self does? -=-=- DNA

Mog	SELF is referencing the object that is invoking the method - If you had something like a:thing in blitz3D, and if B3d had methods, if you call a.create(), it will invoke that method with A declared as a local object, named SELF. Pass the object into the function as Self:SimpleProgressBar. -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

dna	With all the conversion going on I finally came up with this. Function PROBAR(PX,PY,RWID,RHEI,GG#) If GG>RWID Then BS=GG/RWID:GG#=0.-0 ;If GG>RWID Then RWID=GG Color 200,200,200:Rect PX,PY,RWID+4,RHEI,0 Color 20,200,20 ;GG#=0.0 While GG<=100 Rect PX+2,PY+2,GG,16,1 Delay 50 GG=GG+BS Wend End Function --v Why the original code used types in Bmax is unknown when this works the same. -=-=- DNA

steve_ancell	[quote=dna]Why the original code used types in Bmax is unknown when this works the same.[/dna] If you mean the code I posted, it's not BMax, I did that in Blitz3D. I've done it that way before, but with different field names.

dna	Not yours Steve. The first source I posted that had the method header. Thed whole thing was constructed that way for a reason I do not see since the last code I posted will suffice. Some software programmers are too strongly typed with their code listings. -=-=- DNA
