Calling C++ functions from LUA and LUA functions from C++

[VeTaL]

How can i do subj?

 

For example, i have state control of the game (menu and so on) on C++ and game logic is written on LUA.

You should do only generic logic and behaviour in Lua, and game specific logic on the Lua entities in C++.

From C++ you can access any Lua entity using FindFirstEntityByKey("name","enemy_9") (see gamelib).

Only because that's the way LUA has been implemented in Leadwerks. But that's at odds with the way it is done in most of the gaming industry where scripting is very much used to control the AI and game logic! My aim is to expose all my C++ functionality to LUA so this can be scripted but accept I need to implement that myself.

Okay, but can i add new method in LUA?

 

For example, i want to inherit from existing entity, add some new methods and see them in C++

 

Looking like i need to add luabind?
