Hey all,
I am trying to write a quick custom actuator for the game engine, mainly as a way to become familiar with the code by following this tutorial: http://whatjaysaid.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/blender-development-adding-an-actuator-part-1/, and the followup part two. Everything compiles and seems to work fine (no crashing when attached to an object and the game is started). However, I cannot seem to get anything to appear for the interface. Also, when I ‘minimize’ the actuator, where it would normally say the actuator type (ie Action or Camera) is says Unknown.
This is my current function in blender/makesrna/intern/rna_actuator.c
void rna_def_vrpn_actuator(BlenderRNA *brna)
{
StructRNA *srna;
PropertyRNA *prop;
srna = RNA_def_struct(brna, "VRPNActuator", "Actuator");
RNA_def_struct_ui_text(srna, "VRPN Actuator", "Actuator to connect to VRPN server");
RNA_def_struct_sdna_from(srna, "bVRPNActuator", "data");
prop = RNA_def_property(srna, "server", PROP_STRING, PROP_NONE);
RNA_def_property_ui_text(prop, "Server", "Optional, message subject (this is what can be filtered on)");
RNA_def_property_update(prop, NC_LOGIC, NULL);
}
and it gets called in RNA_def_actuator()
here is my struct in blender/makesdna/DNA_actuator_types.h
typedef struct bVRPNActuator{
int type; /* 0=tracker, 1=button, 2=dial */
char server[64];
} bVRPNActuator;
If anybody has any idea of what is wrong that would be awesome! I have a feeling it is just a simple piece of code missing somewhere. Thanks for your time!

[EDIT]
Solved it… found the logic_window.c file… it is all clear now
