I've been a big fan Fragmotion for many years, it does animation, modelling, texturing, scripting and it's import/export options are focused on game models. It's pretty cheap too.

Doh!  Your quite correct, thank you for pointing that out.

@backslider: Unfortunately our suggestion causes an "temp.gbas"( error : command not inside function or sub" error. This could be removed simple by moving the test routine to a function but I think "extern" is the way to go.

@hardyx: "extern" works great but removing the "//" here:

LOCAL l%
INLINE
     extern int xfoo;
     //l%=xfoo;
     DEBUG((DGStr)xfoo);
ENDINLINE

Causes an "*** Unhandled exception ***   EXCEPTION_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO" runtime error. I think this is due to a C to GLBasic type conversion?
It's not really a big deal, as the global C var will only be used within various in-lined C sections scattered between various project files but I would still like to know why it's causing a divide by zero though?

@MrTAToad: Thanks for the suggestion but my project is very segmented into various files, segmented by required function and usually typed. The C code has to be inlined due to the way the code works but communication between C and GLBasic while trying to avoid complex type conversions was causing me no end of bother. There is a lot of C spread across this project, this is unavoidable but I am glad GLBasic has this C integration functionality, what a god-send it has already proven to be!

Thanks to all that helped me here!

Thank you for your reply,

I tried to make a 2 file project, the 1st with this in it:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

LOCAL l%
INLINE
l%=xfoo;
ENDINLINE
DEBUG l%

The 2nd with this in it:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

INLINE
    int xfoo;
ENDINLINE

FUNCTION test%:
INLINE
   xfoo=27;
ENDINLINE
ENDFUNCTION

But I am now getting this error:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

C:\Users\Dad\AppData\Local\Temp\glbasic\gpc_temp0.cpp: In function `int __GLBASIC__::__MainGameSub_()':
C:\Users\Dad\AppData\Local\Temp\glbasic\gpc_temp0.cpp:58: error: `xfoo' was not declared in this scope

Hi,

Is it possible to have a C variable, say int A;, that is accessable from various other inlined sections, in other files, spread throughout a multifile project?

I actually need it for a global like C struct that is only used in the C parts of the project code but can't get it to work, either scope errors or multiple definition errors.

Thanks in advance,

Bob
