Hiya *I havent bothered yet to really learn lua so im not sure what exactly it can and cant do* In the engine im making right now I plan on interfacing it with lua. The engine however uses quite a few enums, now if you had a cpp function like so: void SetStyle(BlendStyle pStyle), you would simple set the param with a member of the particular enum structure, but now in lua you wouldn''t have access to the enums (or is there a way to expose them to lua?) or would I probably just have to make the function take in a string and then use a switch statement...ex:

void SetStyle(char* pStyle)
{
   switch(pStyle)
   {
   case ''transparent'':
        m_Blendstyle = BS_TRANSPARENT;
    break;
   etc...
}

and also, is there a way to make pointers in lua to hardcoded classes? lua file...CMesh *m_tree; m_tree->style = "transparent" etc. Thanx a lot in advance! Cheers!

For enums, just assign the values to lua variables, then you can use them just like in c.

The latter requires the use of lua tables; it will work, but you''ll have to register everything and encapsulate parameters.
Or you simple use one of the wrappers out there (i prefer luabind, it''s quite mighty; tolua would be an alternative too).
