GLBasic forum

I'm using the fmod library setup from the samples folder in my project.
I need FMUSIC_Get_Time function adding.
tried to add it myself  but C++ is way above my level. How do you know if its @0 @4,void or char etc.
any help would be great.

added the function docs and fmod code below.

Cheers

FMUSIC_GetTime
Returns the time in milliseconds since the song was started. This is useful for
synchronizing purposes becuase it will be exactly the same every time, and it is
reliably retriggered upon starting the song. Trying to synchronize using other
windows timers can lead to varying results, and inexact performance. This fixes that
problem by actually using the number of samples sent to the soundcard as a reference.

int F_API FMUSIC_GetTime(
FMUSIC_MODULE *mod
);

Parameters
mod Pointer to the song to get time from.

Return Value
On success, the time played in milliseconds is returned.
On failure, -1 is returned.

Remarks

Download the "depends" program (dependency walker).

If I remember correctly, FMOD has two interface systems - one for C++ and one for C, with the latter, of course, being easier to use with GLBasic.

Right

DECLARE_ALIAS(FMUSIC_GetTime, "fmod.dll", "_FMUSIC_GetTime@4", (void* pMod), int);

this code compiles with no error.
how do you  pass the result to a usable variable?
tried to make a function using variations of the samples but error after error.

probably simple  but my brain is leaking.

Sorted this about a week ago, took me a bit to understand the C++ syntax but here goes if anyone needs it.

DECLARE_ALIAS(FMUSIC_GetTime, "fmod.dll", "_FMUSIC_GetTime@4", (void* pMod), int);

FUNCTION Gettime: modtime
INLINE
return FMUSIC_GetTime(g_pFMod);
ENDINLINE
ENDFUNCTION

Use

result= Gettime(modtime)
