Hello,

in my current project I have to give the ability for clients to communicate with the server and the other way around, they do this by sending events to each other. When compiling the script I don't know what events will be sent or received, or how many or which arguments they will have.

So I need some way to call a handler function with an array<any> where I store the arguments so in the script the values can be retrieved.

How can I achieve this? I am using the standard array and any add-on.

AngelScript / C++

I am looking for a solution with AngelScript.

The manual shows how to create a script array from C++ and return it to the script.

http://www.angelcode.com/angelscript/sdk/docs/manual/doc_addon_array.html#doc_addon_array_4​

It also shows how to work with the any type from C++ to set its content.

I think with these two you should be able to implement your function that return an array of any.

Thanks for the response.

I am struggling with storing primitives in my any.

converted.second is the pointer to my primitive value (e.g. int64_t*) and converted.first is the type id of (e.g. 5)

When I call this function, it crashes.

any->Store((void*)converted.second, converted.first);

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong since you're not showing me any code, but the following works:

	{
		engine = asCreateScriptEngine();
		engine->SetMessageCallback(asMETHOD(COutStream, Callback), &out, asCALL_THISCALL);
		RegisterScriptAny(engine);
		CScriptAny* any = new CScriptAny(engine);

		asINT64 someValue = 32;
		any->Store(&someValue, asTYPEID_INT64);

		someValue = 0;
		any->Retrieve(&someValue, asTYPEID_INT64);

		if (someValue != 32)
			TEST_FAILED;
		any->Release();

		engine->ShutDownAndRelease();
	}
