What is Object* extra in Map::Load

[Roland]

Object* extra is not described. What is it?

Also Parameters talks about 'hookname' which isn't among the parameters.

 

 

 

Please make correction in Documentation

hi Roland,

 

see this topic:

That topic doesn't seem to talk about the Object pointer param. I believe this is much like how Josh always does the void * stuff where you can cast and put anything in, and then cast back in the callback so we can call functions of that object. For example since the library is C++ this is a way for us to pass in 'this' so that we can call a function of the class that we called this map load from to add the items to our own list if need be.

The object you supply gets passed to the hook as an argument.

Great, then I know. That suited me perfect
