Hello everyone.
I have created and exposed a C++ class to Lua as a user data. Meta function __gc has been written and it works fine. I can make multiple instances (using the new function) of that object in a script and call their methods and they work. However, the behavior of the assignment is not what i need it to be. It looks like variables in scripts are references to objects in the virtual machine. Therefore, if i write a statement like
x = y
in a script where x and y are both user data of the same type, x becomes a reference to the same object as y. Is there a way to override this behavior ? I know it is possible to override comparisons by defining __eq meta function (ans __le, etc).
Is it also possible to prevent assignment where it doesn't make sense ?
