Reading Lua Class Properties from C++

[Birdman]

Is there a way to create a variable or property in a class in LUA and access it from C++?

 

For an instance there switch.lua have a Reset time property created in the Property Dialog, and then in the main function you have a resettime variable. How would i access this property/variable from c++?

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

If you store it as an entity key, you should be able to use GetEntityKey from C++ after you load the map and find the entity.

If you store it as an entity key..

 

How do you store an Entity Key in lua?

The engine commands are the same in all languages, either procedural or OOP.

SetEntityKey(entity,"key","value") or Entity::SetKey("key","value")

Thanks for the responses guys, i got it working.

 

I just checked there was a sample in the viper vehicle lua.

object.model:SetKey("collisiontype",COLLISION_PROP)
object.model:SetKey("mass",1.0)

 

C++ Code:

GetEntityKey(model,"mass");
