hi guys, I want to be able to do the following: // Angelscript void DoSomething() { Menu Main; Main.AddMenu("Some_Name"); } Where AddMenu is as such: void CMenuHandler::AddMenu( char* pName ) { ... } I can register the object and method fine is there are no parameters (and it works), but having a poiinter as a parameter is returning an error on registering and building the script...... Can someone give me an example on how to register char* or equivalents and using them as parameters in member functions?? Nice one!

Pointers are not available in the script language. It is possible to register a string type that can be passed to application functions expecting a char* (look at test_feature/source/bstr.cpp), though I recommend that you instead use std::string as it is much easier to use. Register the string type with RegisterStdString() from add_on/std_string/stdstring.cpp, then register your class method as follows:

void CMenuHandler::AddMenu(string &str){  // do something with the string}engine->RegisterObjectMethod("Menu", "void AddMenu(string ∈)", asMETHOD(CMenuHandler, AddMenu), asCALL_THISCALL);

If you do not want to rewrite your existing CMenuHandler class, you could write a simple wrapper function as follows:

void CMenuHandler_AddMenu(string &str, CMenuHandler &menu){  menu.AddMenu(str.c_str());}engine->RegisterObjectMethod("Menu", "void AddMenu(string ∈)", asFUNCTION(CMenuHandler_AddMenu), asCALL_CDECL_OBJLAST);

stdstring.cpp wont link, says somethin about _errno unresovlved symbol and a couple of other unresolved stuff....


Linking...
Creating library Debug/pShell.lib and object Debug/pShell.exp

any ideas?

It looks like the linker isn't using the correct type standard C/C++ libraries. Make sure you compile the AS library and your application with the same settings, i.e. multi-threaded dll, static single threaded, debug libraries, etc.

What compiler are you using?
