In LUA Entity:GetDistance causes silent crash

[Dreikblack]

No error windows or in consoles, just app closing when GetDistance called. Need this working for tutorial

local displays = GetDisplays();

--Create a window
local window = CreateWindow("Ultra Engine", 0, 0, 1280, 720, displays[1], WINDOW_CENTER | WINDOW_TITLEBAR)

--Create a framebuffer
local framebuffer = CreateFramebuffer(window)

--Create a world
local world = CreateWorld()

--Create a camera
local camera = CreateCamera(world)

local distanceToTarget = camera:GetDistance(Vec3(1,1,1))
Print(distanceToTarget)

--Main loop
while not window:Closed() and not window:KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE) do

    world:Update()
    world:Render(framebuffer)
end

Can confirm with this onl-kineer in the editor console...

box = CreateBox(nil) box:GetDistance(Vec3(0,0,0))

I am perplexed. There seems to be nothing odd about the way the method is declared...

				"GetDistance", sol::overload(
					[](Entity& e, shared_ptr<Entity> b) { return e.GetDistance(b); },
					[](Entity& e, Vec3 b) { return e.GetDistance(b); },
					[](Entity& e, float x, float y, float z) { return e.GetDistance(x, y, z); }
				),

Okay, when I declared the entity overload as a pointer it is able to find the right method.

				"GetDistance", sol::overload(
					[](Entity& e, Entity* b) {
						std::shared_ptr<Entity> ee;
						if (b) ee = b->As<Entity>();
						if (not ee) return 0.0f;
						return e.GetDistance(ee);
					},
					[](Entity& e, Vec3 b) { return e.GetDistance(b); },
					[](Entity& e, float x, float y, float z) { return e.GetDistance(x, y, z); }
				),

This will not be in the first update tomorrow, because that update is already uploaded and ready to go.
