PaintBall

I thought I fixed multiworld. Try again, bearbin?

This is a really cool plugin that I will use when I open up Mini Games on my server, but first, I need to find some way of doing Hunger Games.

The HungerGames plugins is already finished: https://github.com/mc-server/HungerGames It does need some extra testing though so I can fix all the bugs that I don't know about.

Dang. That was fast. Thank you so much. So this has the functionality of the normal Bukkit plugin?

Thank you for helping. This helps a lot.

P.S: You should create a thread about it.

So this has the functionality of the normal Bukkit plugin?

It's probably a little different to set up, but I think it should have the same functionality. But then I only created this plugin from videos I watched about hunger games and the 2-3 times I actualy played it.

Thank you for helping. This helps a lot.

No problem

P.S: You should create a thread about it.

I'll probably do it later today if nobody has an objection.

Oh god cProjectileEntity:GetCreator() is removed. Now Paintball doesn't work anymore.
Would

function GetCreator(a_Projectile)
  local CreatorID = a_Projectile:GetCreatorUniqueID()
  local Creator = nil
  a_Projectile:GetWorld():DoWithEntityByID(CreatorID,
    function(a_Creator)
      Creator = a_Creator
    end
  )
  return Creator
end

cause a deadlock?

Ill try

No deadlock, but I haven't tried a paintball game.

It won't work well, because it does exactly what should never be done - store a pointer to an entity while in the callback and leaking that pointer out. You need to do your action directly in the callback, you can't pass the pointer around.

Tycho is making a fanfare about locked_pointer; does Lua support that?

[xoft]

Lua has no such thing out of the box, we would need to write support for it into ToLua++. Which would be pretty difficult.

---

I'm actually playing with the thought of abandoning ToLua++ completely and either use a different binding library, or not use a library at all - write a script that generates the bindings out of APIDump-style description that we'd write for the API. Adding API that way would be a bit more difficult than marking functions as "tolua_export", but on the other hand we could customize it completely, to support shared_ptrs, locked_ptrs etc. And we'd have a single source of both the bindings and the APIDump information, which would be really helpful for the documentation.
