Hi..
I'm not sure but tolua might be including the #defined stuff inside the modules, so you might have to use Habitat.Core.HB_TRUE
Anyway, tolua has it's own boolean implementation (I think I saw a tolua_pushbool() function on the library, they just push a number or nil), so you can safely use functions and variables of type 'bool'. You should also know that (as far as I know, someone please correct me) 0 is _true_ on lua: 

$ lua
Lua 4.0.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2000 TeCGraf, PUC-Rio
> a = 0
> if a then print "a is true" end
a is true
> a = nil
> if a then print "a is true" end
> ^Z
it took me a while to figure that out.. I guess '0' is a value of type number, and that's better that just 'nil' ;) we usually have the lines 'true = 1' and 'false = nil' at the begining of our scripts to avoid confusion.. 

Hope that helps.. bye.

define TRUE and FALSE and typedef unsigned char to be my own boolean type, and
then expose them using ToLua.

So this is my C++ code:

namespace Habitat
{
        namespace Core
        {
                typedef         unsigned char           HBboolean;
                #define         HB_TRUE                         1
                #define         HB_FALSE                        0
        }
}

And this is my package file:

module Habitat
{
        module Core
        {
                typedef         unsigned char           HBboolean;
                #define         HB_TRUE                         1
                #define         HB_FALSE                        0
        }
}

Now when I try to use these in my Lua scripts, nothing works:

        flag = HB_FALSE
        flag2 = HB_TRUE

        Log:Print(type(HB_FALSE))
        Log:Print(type(HB_TRUE))

        Log:Print(type(flag))
        Log:Print(type(flag2))


These all display:

nil

Am I missing something really obvious? Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike
