[Linux,Steam,C++] FPS controller doesn't move the camera

Adding a weapon prefab makes it a little clearer - I didn't think of that untill after I uploaded the video.

 

Map file can be found here;

The map works just fine if I create a lua project - how ever using even a freshly created unmodified c++ project ( well I hit compile but that's all ) it's displaying this behaviour.

and yes I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with that loathesome unity desktop

The default C++ code creates a camera in the App.cpp file. I think this is the camera that's being rendered while the invisible player walks around.

Gah - you are correct, commenting out line 35-36 makes it work as expected.

 

But then I lose my camera reference in c++ :|

 

Oh well I set out to investigate how to pass information back and forth between C++ and lua, I suppose the camera is as good a place to start as any

The Interpreter class has some hidden goodies that go along with the Lua API nicely.

 

Off the top of my head, I think this will set a Lua variable to an object:

int stacksize = Interpreter::GetStackSize();
Interpreter::PushObject(entity);
Interpreter::SetGlobal("MyEntity");
Interpreter::SetStackSize(stacksize);
