MCServer Lua implementation

[FakeTruth]

OK.

I did some testing, and thinking, and I don't think it's possible to call newly declared functions on a plugin because you can't typecast in Lua AFAIK and what you do in Lua isn't really extending/inheriting the cPlugin class but faking it.

I think I will add one basic function to cPlugin:

Code:

virtual Lua_Table CustomFunc( string a_SomeParameter );

I suck at coming up with function names, so it's open for discussion lol.

Anyway, this allows you to do ... anything?

PluginOne:

Code:

function PluginOne:CustomFunc( Params )
    Split = StringSplit( Params )
    if( Split[1] == "MakeGod" )
        MakeGod( Split[2] ) -- Blabla, this function makes dude in Split[2] god
    end
end

PluginTwo

Code:

function PluginTwo:OnChat( Message, Player )
    PluginManager = cRoot:Get():GetPluginManager()
    OtherPlugin = PluginManager:GetPlugin("PluginOne")
    if( OtherPlugin ~= nil )
        OtherPlugin:CustomFunc("MakeGod " .. Player:GetName() ) -- Make all chatting players god! whee~
    end
end

----
On second thought, I might make the parameter for CustomFunc a Lua table as well, this makes it much easier to send complex data to the plugin.

Discuss!
