Embedded C/C++/C# & other

Post by ChristopherBodell » Sat Jan 03, 2009 3:07 am

Theoretically, is it possible to store a external engine (dll) in a customProperty & call the functions from an objects script to that customProperty, or could i possibly load the customProperty or the dll file itself into front or back and call the function like a normal function?

Or would i have to create a custom function to do the work.

I think you'd have to write the DLL file to disk first; and depending on the version and settings of the operating system, Windows may not like the fact that you just unpacked a DLL file, and refuse to load it if it isn't registered first with administrator privileges.
