Hello.

I was converting this function



to B3D and wante to know what the statement :

Return self

does?

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.

With all the conversion going on I finally came up with this.


Why the original code used types in Bmax is unknown when this works the same.

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.

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.
