Communicate between engine code and script

by Nocera Luciano · in Torque Game Engine · 03/20/2006 (1:38 am) · 2 replies

I add a new class into the engine code which includes consoleMethods. I call those consoleMethods from script to start a new thread to calculate some data, and then return those data back to script function in certain times.
I am wondering if is there a way to transfer the data to script from the engine thread, or a way to call a script function from engine thread?

You are looking for Con::executef(...), which is c++ that calls a script function. Hundreds of examples in the code. Additionally, you could look at making persistent fields (which are shared by script and the c++ implementation), used mostly in datablocks via the ::initPersistFields(...) c++ method.

Sorry for another newbie problem. This is my script:

function ActionScript::inScriptAddPeerPlayer(%this, %var){
echo("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~");
aiAddPlayer(%var);
}

// ******* Declare P2P Handle **********
$pphandle = new pphandle();
$pphandle.callOther();

In the engine code, I have a callOther() function in class PPHandle that create another object named "actionScript" of class ActionScript, which is also inherited from SimObject. I execute this in one of actionScript's function callBack():

Con::executef(this,2, "inScriptAddPeerPlayer", "tester");

So the sequence is:
1) create $pphandle in script
2) $pphandle.callOther();
3) Create Object in class pphandle: ActionScript actionScript = new ActionScript();
3) actionScript.callBack();

There comes an error:

Con::execute - 0 has no namespace


Any suggest what is going on there?
