Custom Lua tables called via Interpreter::EvaluateString

[martyj]

I'm working on customizing quests with Lua to be more dynamic.

I'd like to be able to define a lua program via a lua file, load it via Interpreter::EvaluateFile.

After loading the file, I'd like to be able to call a "Main" function inside the file.

Something similar to the following:

 

----- Scripts/Quests/ARudeAwakening.lua

ARudeAwakening = {}
function ARudeAwakening:Main()
	System:Print("Main loaded")
	App.Quests.ARudeAwakening = self
end

function ARudeAwakening:UpdateWorld()
	System:Print("Logic Stuff")
end

---- C++
Interpreter::EvaluateFile(std::string("Scripts/Quests/ARudeAwakening.lua"));
Interpreter::EvaluateString(std::string("ARudeAwakening:Main()"));

How can I get something like this to work?

Have you tried the following? Does it give an error?

I've updated the lua code to the actual Lua code, not just psudocode.

The code "Runs" but nothing is printed to the console.

If I run

Interpreter::EvaluateString(std::string("System:Print(\"Test\")"));

 

This will print to the console.

I haven't ran it through a Lua debugger to see if ARudeAwakening::Main() gets called or not.
