NAME CreatePlayerA -- create a player and link it to a conductor. (V37) CreatePlayer -- varargs stub for CreatePlayerA(). (V37) SYNOPSIS player = CreatePlayerA(tagList); D0 A0 struct player *createplayera(struct tagitem *); player = CreatePlayer(firstTag, ...); struct player *createplayer(tag, ...); FUNCTION Creates a player structure with the desired attributes. INPUTS tagList - pointer to an array of tags providing optional extra parameters, or NULL TAGS PLAYER_Name (STRPTR) - name of the player (generally the application's name). Default is no name.

The hook is called with: A0 - address of hook structure A1 - message, currently pmtime or pmstate A2 - address of player structure Note that your hook function is not necessarily called TICK_FREQ times per second. This is the maximum number of times it can be called. (V37) PLAYER_Priority (BYTE) - priority for the player, from -128 to +127. Default is 0.

Possible error values currently include: RTE_NOMEMORY - memory allocation failed RTE_NOTIMER - timer (CIA) allocation failed RESULTS player - a pointer to a player structure on success or null on failure. When NULL is returned, an error code can be returned in the longword variable pointed to by the optional PLAYER_ErrorCode tag. SEE ALSO deleteplayer(), getplayerattrs(), setplayerattrs()
