Thanks.

Looking at the code

static VALUE t_add_oneshot_timer (VALUE self, VALUE interval)
{
	const char *f = evma_install_oneshot_timer (FIX2INT (interval));
	if (!f || !*f)
		rb_raise (rb_eRuntimeError, "no timer");
	return rb_str_new2 (f);
}

I have a further question, the parameter I get in my call is an array
e.g.

        ["pos",[ 0, 0, 0],"dir",[1, 0, 1],"custom",[ 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,
3, 1, 1]]

        they are token-value pair

Should I process the array in cmain.cpp or rubymain.cpp

If in cmain.cpp I would need to include "ruby.h" for the definition of
"VALUE" right?

Cheers
