I am making a DLL using GLFW. I have converted it so far so that it can dsiplay a white triangle with no iput from the user. To run the DLL i am using a program called GameMaker 7.0. It simply calls the dll sending out varaibles which if set up that function uses those varaibles to do things. Now here is my problem. I can't get variables into a function then into another that draws them. Here is my source code:

#include <stdlib.h>    // For malloc() etc.
#include <stdio.h>     // For printf(), fopen() etc.
#include <math.h>      // For sin(), cos() etc.
#include <GL/glfw.h>   // For GLFW, OpenGL and GLU
#define dll extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) double __cdecl

dll draw_triangle(double x1)//FUNCTION I"M TRYING TO PUT IN
{
    glBegin( GL_TRIANGLES );          // Tell OpenGL that we want to draw a triangle
    glVertex3f( x1, -4, 0 ); // First corner of the triangle
    glVertex3f(  5, -4, 0 ); // Second corner of the triangle
    glVertex3f(  0,  4, 0 ); // Third corner of the triangle
    glEnd();
}  


dll Draw()
{
    int    width, height;  // Window dimensions
    double t;              // Time (in seconds)
    GLuint TexID;

    // Get current time
    t = glfwGetTime();

    // Get window size
    glfwGetWindowSize( &width, &height );

    // Make sure that height is non-zero to avoid division by zero
    height = height < 1 ? 1 : height;

    // Set viewport
    glViewport( 0, 0, width, height );

    // Clear color and depht buffers
    glClearColor( 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f );
    glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT );

    // Set up projection matrix
    glMatrixMode( GL_PROJECTION );    // Select projection matrix
    glLoadIdentity();                 // Start with an identity matrix
    gluPerspective(                   // Set perspective view
        65.0,                         // Field of view = 65 degrees
        (double)width/(double)height, // Window aspect (assumes square pixels)
        1.0,                          // Near Z clipping plane
        100.0                         // Far Z clippling plane
    );

    // Set up modelview matrix
    glMatrixMode( GL_MODELVIEW );     // Select modelview matrix
    glLoadIdentity();                 // Start with an identity matrix
    gluLookAt(                        // Set camera position and orientation
        0.0, 0.0, 10.0,               // Camera position (x,y,z)
        0.0, 0.0, 0.0,                // View point (x,y,z)
        0.0, 1.0, 0.0                 // Up-vector (x,y,z)
    );

    glBegin( GL_TRIANGLES );          // Tell OpenGL that we want to draw a triangle
    draw_triangle() //PROBLEM HERE
    glEnd();   
                  // No more triangles...
}

        // Check if the escape key was pressed, or if the window was closed
        running = !glfwGetKey( GLFW_KEY_ESC ) &&
                  glfwGetWindowParam( GLFW_OPENED );

    // Terminate GLFW
    glfwTerminate();

    // Exit program
    return 0;
}

My problem is in the draw_triangle function. IN the program i use to call it i put in call it with value -5 so it sets x1 to -5 (it can only handle double). Tehn it shoudl set that code then draw it in the Draw() function (at the end) but it doesn't it says error to few arguments to function draw_triangle(double). How do i do this? Cheers Qwertyuiop23 PS:Tell me if you need more info.

Thanks thats partly solved my question. BUT as this is a DLL i need to call it and put in the variable x1. SO i call the DLL in my calling program i scall it with values draw_triangle(-5) but using the code you supplied no matter what value you call draw_triangle() with it always sets it back to one in the draw() function.

Cheers

Can anyone help?
