use existing class instance?
Author
Got another for you... is there a way to have angelscript use a method within an existing class instance for a function call from angelscript, instead of creating a new instance?
i.e.:
// c++
class MyClass {
public:
void myMethod() {}
};
MyClass myInstance;
// angelscript
whateverFunction();
^^^ myInstance.myMethod() gets called here?
I'm working on a somewhat unusual project where I absolutely have to use the existing instance.
If the script is calling a global function there is no way AngelScript can make it a class method as it has no knowledge of the object instance. However you have a couple of options for solving your problem.
1. You can register the class method as an object method, and then register the instance as a global property. That way the script would be able to call the method on the globally available object.
2. You can also write a wrapper function for the class method. The wrapper function would then get the object instance and call the class method:

// AngelScriptvoid ScriptFunction(){ // obj is a globally available variable registered by the application obj.Function(12, 34);}2. You can also write a wrapper function for the class method. The wrapper function would then get the object instance and call the class method:
// C++ wrapper functionint Function(int a, int b){ Obj *obj = GetObjectInstance(); return obj->Function(a, b);}This topic is closed to new replies.
