Hi,
I try to use the Truevision SDK 6.5 with the language Autoit. I didn`t found any examples for it, but I thought that its possible to translate the visual basic example. The vb-script I found uses COM for communicate with the engine. Autoit support COM, also I started.
But now I have a problem in calling a method. My Interpreter says the following if .GetPosition() from the TVCamera class is called:
truevision_1.au3 (103) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$x = $oTVcamera.GetPosition()
$x = $oTVcamera.GetPosition()^ ERROR
The part of the code in Visual basic.net:
If inp.IsKeyPressed(TV_KEY_UP) Then
camera.SetPosition camera.GetPosition.x, camera.GetPosition.y, camera.GetPosition.z - 1
End If
The same in Autoit:
First the part of code in which I instance the TVCamera object
$oTVcamera = ObjCreate("TV3D65.TVCamera")
With $oTVcamera
.SetViewFrustum(45, 10000)
.SetCamera(200, 500, 200, 0, 0, 0)
EndWith
And here the part where the error occurs:
If _IsPressed("26") Then ; up arrow key
$x = $oTVcamera.GetPosition()
ConsoleWrite("act x:" & $x)
$y = $oTVcamera.GetPosition.y() ; this fails to with the same error.
ConsoleWrite("act y:" & $y)
$z = $oTVcamera.GetPosition.z() ; ...
ConsoleWrite("act z:" & $z)
$oTVcamera.SetPosition($x, $y, $z - 1)
EndIf
I use Win 7 Starter x86 and Autoit version 3.3.6.1.
The communication with the object generally seems to work great the log says nothing conspicuous for me:

Thanks in advice

EDIT: It seems the communication with the object only works in 1 direction From the script to the object, but not back. Every function which is returning anything seems to fail. for example $oTVcamera.SetPosition works, but $oTVcamera.GetPosition fails. I tried call $oTVcamera.RotateX and it works how expected...
