luaBind + Class
Author
Hi, I'm trying to expose a function from a class to LUA. I know what you're going to say, but keep reading...I have a class called CObjects like this:
I'm pretty new to LUA myself, so please forgive me if I'm getting it wrong. I'm not sure that you can expose methods in this way, given that LUA is based in C, while your method is C++.
I think a way around it would be something like
I'm sure that there are other/better ways of doing this. I'm no expert, but I think that this will work.
I think a way around it would be something like
class CObject{ int GetX() { return 5; }};CObject Door;static int GetDoorX(lua_State *L){ lua_pushnumber(L,Door.GetX()); return 1; // 1 paramater returned}int main(){ /* ... */ lua_register(L, "GetDoorX", GetDoorX); /* ... */}I'm sure that there are other/better ways of doing this. I'm no expert, but I think that this will work.
I think he is trying to use luabind, in which case he would do something like this:
If, however, you are not trying to use luabind to expose your class, Stagz method should work.
module ( luaState ) [ class_< COBject > ( "CObject" ) .def (constructor<>()) .def ( "GetX", &CObject::GetX ) ]If, however, you are not trying to use luabind to expose your class, Stagz method should work.
Quite right, I didn't realise that luabind was different to lua. I told you I was a newb didn't I :)

yeah, I should have put that luabind stuff in there somewhere. But I don't want to expose the class to LUA. I don't want the user to creat anymore objects of that type. I think I figured it out anyway. I have to create a wrapper function.
This works, and seems to be a good solution.
Thanks anyway,
Denny.
class CObject{ int GetX() { return 5; }};CObject Door;int luabind_Wrapper_Door_GetX(){ return Door.GetX();}module( L )[ def( "GetX", &luabind_Wrapper_Door_GetX );];This works, and seems to be a good solution.
Thanks anyway,
Denny.

I'm no luabind expert, but if you don't want your class to be instantiated can't you just not bind the constructors?
module(l)[class_<CObject>("CObject").def("GetX", &CObject::GetX)];
You have to use wrapper functions for those kinds of calls. It would be imposible to expose a member function directly.
