'm using the C++ SDK and lua for small objects code. I need to create the entities from C++ and later use the bool Entity::CallFunction(const std::string& functionName, Object* extra) How to 'bind' on script lua to an entity ? it looks that Interpreter is using tolua++, but I can't figure how to load the .lua properly to the object // Create 100 special entity std::vector<Entity*> list; for (int i = 0; i < 100; i ++) { Entity* entity = new MyEntity(); entity->AddToWorldTable(true ); list.push_back(entity); } // Load special script (But not working, object not callable). Interpreter::NewTable(); Interpreter::SetGlobal("Script"); // Must Script. Don't change that, because the script are prefixed with Script:myFunction if (Interpreter::ExecuteFile("MyEntity.lua")) { System::Print("Error: Failed to execute script \"" + it + "\"."); } for (auto&it : list) it->CallFunction("OnSpecialFunction") Script Lua function Script:OnSpecialFunction() print self end

I'm trying to create a script that spawns an object every so often at a set time, but I keep getting a script error that says " '=' expected near 'function'". I'm new to programming and have no clue what that means. here's a screenshot of it in context. ANy help would be very appreciated. Script.spawnObject = "" --entity "Object" Script.spawnTimer = 1.5 --float "Spawn timer" Script.timer function Script:UpdateWorld() self.timer = self.timer + (Time:GetSpeed()/100) if(self.timer > self.spawnTimer) then local newObject = self.spawnObject:Instance() newObject:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition()) self.timer = 0 end end

Hai! I have a function for changing the music track in my game and it works fine and all, but I also want it to get the total length of the track... Here is my function I'm currently using: function App:SwitchMusic(name) App.source:Stop() local sound = Sound:Load("Sound/BGM/" .. name .. ".wav") App.source:SetSound(sound) App.source:Play() end I tried adding something like App.tracklength = Math:Round(self.name:GetLength()) But it only returns in an error, since I guess it's trying to find a loaded sound with the name "name" and not from the variable. Do anyone have any idea how I can solve this? Thanks! KraXarN
