object_message(3)

📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to object_message(3) from the Allegro manual — specifically the Allegro game programming library 💖

  • object_message — sends a message to an object and returns the answer. periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

int object_message(DIALOG *dialog, int msg, int c);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, object_message sends a message to an object and returns the answer it has generated. That's the whole vibe. ✨

But bestie, pls remember the important thing: the first parameter is the dialog object — not a whole array — the one you actually wanna send the message to. No cap. 🙈

Like, say you wanna make the second object in a dialog draw itself? You might write:

object_message(&dialog[1], MSG_DRAW, 0);

And the function will take care of scaring and unscaring the mouse if the message is MSG_DRAW. It's giving considerate, fr fr. 🐭✨
