How would i go about creating a 2D array in C++ and passing off to torquescript so that it would return like so:

Code: Select all

%data = funcThatMakeArrays(); echo(%data[1, "index2"]);

Do you need it to do exactly that? Because it'd be pretty simple to create a SimGroup in your engine function, populate it, and return that. SimGroups can be indexed and iterated over in TS.

Easier still would be to just make a quick "SimGroup manager" class script-side.

What's the exact use-case?

I guess it does not need to do exactly that. I am simply pulling data from a database but since i need to access the database very often I wanted as much of the work done in C++ as possible for performance.

So could anyone give me some examples?

sqlite is integrated into the engine with a cmake option, if nothing else this should operate as a framework for adding any other database system

[aMoistKite]

I do not see any cmake option for sqlite, and all the resources i could find on it over on garagegames have dead links. SQLite would not work for my application anyway.

What about array objects?

What about array objects?

May I have an example?

http://docs.garagegames.com/torque-3d/r ... bject.html

new ArrayObject(numArray);

numArray.add(1,4);
numArray.add(2,3);
numArray.add(3,8);

numArray.add("1,1",5); 
numArray.add("1,2",9); 

function ArrayObject::getKeyFromValue(%this,%value){
   return %this.getKey(%this.getIndexFromValue(%value));
}
function ArrayObject::getValueFromKey(%this,%key){
   return %this.getValue(%this.getIndexFromKey(%key));
}

numArray.getValueFromKey(1); // will return 4
numArray.getValueFromKey("1,1"); // will return 5

I was meaning an example how to define one in C++ and pass one it to torquescript.
