So would you recommend a wrapper class that would
hold the Lua instance, and its functions would be mapped
into Lua. Sort of like the LuaWrapper acts like a V-table?
class LuaWrapper
{
Lua* pL (or however it is done )
ICurrentThing* pT (An object being ''ran'')
LuaWrapper()
{
// Set up Lua and map LuaWrapper''s functions,
// isDrunk and Jump, into it.
}
void RunScript( ICurrentThing* pO )
{
pT = PO;
// RUn the script found in pO into Lua
}
void isDrunk( ... )
{
... pT->IsDrunk();
}
void Jump( ... )
{
,,, pT->Jump()
}
}
, but I''ve been researching cooler ways for almost seamless integration. For a native DLL, which were to be used by the script, you wouldn''t have to register a thing (just use the exports and unmangle the names). Of course, calling scripted-functions from C/C++ is another issue. But, how about letting the script-compiler generate a C/C++ file which does all the wrapping for you ... that would be a great help and save development time! I know, that some of these features are used in current scripting languages, but I''m still waiting for *the* scripting language ... if I have some spare time, I might have to do my own (I''ve done a C-Parser before).
