Squirrel

Hi,

Well I have spent 3 days (around 5 hours) to figure out why I was getting a "not valid parameter" when calling a function from C++ to squirrel.

My function is pretty simple:

function InitPlayer(Player)
{
    Player.SetDexterity            (10.0);
    return Player;
}

The fuction gets a pointer to player and sets dexterity on it.

Important: C++ method from Player was defined as void SetDexterity(float).

Well the function as it is now works perfectly buy if I change the Player.SetDexterity part to:

Player.SetDexterity            (10);

Notice the int parameter I get the error I stated before. Is this ussual operation? should not squirrel cast the int to float?.

Thanks in advance,

It is SqPlus issue, not Squirrel's

I recommend you to change in SqPlus.h

inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<bool>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)           { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_BOOL; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<char>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)           { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<unsigned char>,HSQUIRRELVM v, int idx) { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<short>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)          { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<unsigned short>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx) { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<int>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)            { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<unsigned int>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)   { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<long>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)           { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<unsigned long>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)  { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<float>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)          { int type = sq_gettype(v,idx); return type == OT_FLOAT; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<double>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)         { int type = sq_gettype(v,idx); return type == OT_FLOAT; }

to

inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<bool>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)           { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_CANBEFALSE; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<signed char>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)    { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<unsigned char>,HSQUIRRELVM v, int idx) { return sq_gettype(v,idx) == OT_INTEGER; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<short>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)          { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_NUMERIC; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<unsigned short>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx) { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_NUMERIC; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<int>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)            { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_NUMERIC; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<unsigned int>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)   { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_NUMERIC; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<long>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)           { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_NUMERIC; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<unsigned long>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)  { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_NUMERIC; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<float>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)          { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_NUMERIC; }
inline bool Match(TypeWrapper<double>,HSQUIRRELVM v,int idx)         { return sq_gettype(v,idx) & SQOBJECT_NUMERIC; }

Thanks mate I will do it.
