Hi All

I've just discovered angelscript and totally love it - having used lua,squirrel e.t.c. it's just awesome - everything I've need in a script lang - typed fast and easy to convert to native code.

I've currently got a problem with my vec3 class - I'm using global functions instead of member functions so I can directly match GLSL - this is so I can easily convert code from native c++ to GLSL and to script if needed.

I'm trying to register a global func:

Heh - in answer to my own question - and a few posts down

gScriptEngine->SetEngineProperty(asEP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_REFERENCES, true);

allows the ref to work - sweet!

That will work.

But even without it, you can get references to work by using the directional attribute 'in', i.e.

r = gScriptEngine->RegisterGlobalFunction("vec3 normalize( const vec3 &in v1)", asFUNCTION(normalize), asCALL_CDECL);

To the bound C++ function it doesn't make a difference, but to AngelScript the compiler will know that the reference is only used as an input value, and can thus allow the reference without sacrificing the guarantee that the reference can't be invalidated by some improperly written code.

Hey Andreas

Yeah I thought there would be some sort of declaration I was missing, I just couldn't find it in the doc.

Just got my vec2,vec3 and vec4 classes 100% matched to GLSL and my own native classes - let the uber quick prototyping begin :)

Just wanted to say - thanks for all your awesome work on Angelscript - it's like a dream come true - soo soo soo easy to bind to native c++

it's the script system I've been after for ages - but only just found it now :)

I'm glad you like it :D
