Re: Passing C struct values automatically to Lua

[zweifel <zweifel@...>]

Thanks Nevin for pointing out, found it! Although it seems to be a bad solution...

local da= debug.getinfo(1,"S")
print (da.source)

The da.source returns the path to the script!

Because I dont know if it is fast enough to be called each frame, since they say that the debug information is stored with velocity as a second goal. But I will find it soon enough, it is very practical though, but if this not work I will try pushing and setting a global...

hey steve, that would be a better solution, but why my print(arg) returns nil? Ok, maybe I have not passed any arguments, but do I have to pass args in order to access the arg[0]??

This illustrates the situation with pure Lua, applies to C API as well.
