(Decided to go with sqplus, just changed title) This may seem like a dumb question but I cannot find the answer anywhere, and I’m new to trying to implement a scripting language in my program. I am trying to register a function via RegisterDirect, inside a class function ex: (Lua is setup as LuaObject... setup is fine I assume because it works fine when it is not in classes) void someclass::function2(){...} void someclass::function() { Lua->RegisterDirect("Test function", function2); } function 2 is another member function inside of the same class. But, when I try, I get 12 errors. Now if I registered a function outside of a class, and the register call was not in a member function, then it will compile and execute correctly. Is there something I am missing on how to register functions inside of a class, or preferably as a wrapper? [Edited by - Valor Knight on October 7, 2005 9:43:18 PM]

When I used LuaPlus, I registered pre-allocated classes and member functions as:

someclass myClass;

Lua->RegisterDirect("Test function",&myClass,someclass::function2);

By the time I needed class instance support, I had switched to Squirrel (and wrote Sqplus to provide bindings to Squirrel that did not appear to exist with Lua and LuaPlus). Perhaps ask Joshua Jensen for more info about LuaPlus bindings: LuaPlus.org or post the questions on the LuaPlus forum.

For more complete binding support for Lua, perhaps see luabind (requires boost headers): http://luabind.sourceforge.net/

Thanks for the help, I have been switching choices, trying to decide what scripting language would be easier to do this in. I have actually tried your sqplus but I could not get it to compile correctly in my project. I assume that SquirrelVM::Init(); initilizes it, but there was no real indication on what files were required to include to add it in my project. Ill have to try it again if that is my best chance to implement this.

Sorry about that. I'll create a very simple example shortly.
In the meantime:

Link with squirrel.lib, sqstd.lib, and sqplus.lib (See the testSqPlus2 example).

#include "sqplus.h"

int main(int argc,char * argv[]) {
SquirrelVM::Init();
SquirrelObject helloWorld = SquirrelVM::CompileBuffer("print(\"Hello World\");");
SquirrelVM::RunScript(helloWorld);
SquirrelVM::Shutdown();
}

See testSqPlus2.cpp for example bindings.

What compiler/environment are you using?

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio.net 2003.

Having a problem (I got the include files ect.. from the demo program)
Do I have to include the sqplus project into my solution? Thats the only thing that I can see that is diffrent from your demo app

Thanks

Yes, include the sqplus project and you should be good to go.

Ok got it to work, thanks - just had to make my project dependant on the sqplus project.
