Passing parameters to lua via CallFunction?

[Guppy]

Entity->CallFunction comes in two flavors, one that seems aimed at collisions and one that passes an Object pointer.

 

I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to use this to pass data to the function I'm calling, I can set a void pointer as "userdata" which isn't terribly usefull - the source claims to export it to lua but the documentations says it's not exposed in lua.

 

Is it possible to use this to pass a table to lua? and failing that can I somehow convince CallFunction to pass along the information that I've pushed a table onto the stack?

 

 

Right now I'm resorting to putting the table into a global, which is not really ideal.

 

 

Now I can sidestep using CallFunction by doing

 

Leadwerks::Interpreter::GetGlobal("Player:Test");
lua_pcall(Leadwerks::Interpreter::L, 1, 0, 0);

 

Unfortunately I've no idea what Global to use ( in the above I'm trying to target the Test function inside Player )

	bool Entity::CallFunction(const std::string& name, Object* extra)
{
	if (component==NULL) return false;
	bool success = false;

	//Get the component table
	int stacksize = Interpreter::GetStackSize();

	//Get the global error handler function
	int errorfunctionindex = 0;
#ifdef DEBUG
	Interpreter::GetGlobal("LuaErrorHandler");
	errorfunctionindex = Interpreter::GetStackSize();
#endif
	Push();
	Interpreter::GetField("script");
	if (Interpreter::IsTable())
	{
		Interpreter::GetField(name);
		if (Interpreter::IsFunction())
		{
			Interpreter::PushValue(-2);//Push script table onto stack
			if (extra!=NULL)
			{
				extra->Push();
#ifdef DEBUG
				errorfunctionindex = -(Interpreter::GetStackSize()-errorfunctionindex+1);
#endif
				success = Interpreter::Invoke(2,0,errorfunctionindex);
			}
			else
			{
#ifdef DEBUG
				errorfunctionindex = -(Interpreter::GetStackSize()-errorfunctionindex+1);
#endif
				success = Interpreter::Invoke(1,0,errorfunctionindex);
			}
		}
	}
	Interpreter::SetStackSize(stacksize);
	return success;
}
