|

<div class="item"><span class="header">lua_state_reuse_indexes()<span class="ret-arrow">➜</span>count</span><div class="content"><p>
|
||
|
Here's the deal: As you might know, reusing indexes can cause some really mysterious bugs
|
||
|
if your code accidentally continues to use an index (which is now taken up by something else).
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
So, by default, Apollo will not do that. Which, in turn, means that after states are destroyed,
|
||
|
4 bytes worth of data (which were onece the state's address) will continue to be reserved per state.
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
While it would take about 500 000 states to run out of memory this way,
|
||
|
you might prefer not to have that anyway.
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
So, calling this function will mark that memory as available again, causing Apollo to reuse the
|
||
|
destroyed indexes for newly created states. This will only affect indexes of states that are
|
||
|
destroyed as of calling the function.
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
In other words, while developing your project, you would not call this at all
|
||
|
(so that if you use a destroyed state, you get an obvious error), and for final release
|
||
|
version you would call it once in a while (such as during room transitions - to further
|
||
|
reduce the odds of anything going strange).
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
The function returns the number of indexes that will be reused as result.

Attempts to load and run a snippet of Lua code from the file at the given path.

The function mimics GMS' file handling rules, preferring files in game's save directory over the files in game's installation directory.

</p><p>
|

It will, however, also accept absolute paths, bypassing sandbox restrictions.

|

If you are building a medium-scale scripting API, you may find yourself needing to expose a large number of scripts (and/or built-in functions), as well as introducing argument type checking to prevent GML-side errors.
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
To save you from having to deal with that, Apollo includes a small utility that generates wrapper and loader scripts.
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
It accepts function definitions in <tt>funcname(arg1:type1, arg2:type2, ...):rtype</tt>,
|
||
|
</p><ul>
|
||
|
<li> <tt>arg1, arg2, ...</tt>: argument names. Will be shown in errors returned to Lua.
|
||
|
</li><li> <tt>type1, type2, ...</tt>: argument types. Optional.
|
||
|
If defined, code will be added to ensure that each argument matches it's type.
|
||
|
Known types are <tt>real</tt>, <tt>bool</tt>, <tt>string</tt>;
|
||
|
<tt>color</tt>, <tt>int</tt>, <tt>index</tt>, <tt>id</tt> can also be used, but are treated same as real.
|
||
|
</li><li> <tt>rtype</tt>: returned type, if the function returns a specific one.
|
||
|
If set to <tt>bool</tt>, return-statement will be wrapped in <tt>lua_bool</tt> call.
|
||
|
</li><li> If prefixed with <tt>:</tt>, function will be marked as "instance function" and will accept an instance ID as first argument, also allowing to call it as <tt>inst.func(...)</tt> if instance access scripts are set up.
|
||
|
</li></ul><p>
|
||
|
Constants can be defined either as <tt>name#</tt> (uses the value of same-named constant/variable) or <tt>name = value</tt> (computes the given GML value at inclusion time).
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
The tool is included with the extension as <tt>ApolloGen.exe</tt>;

If you have pre-existing GML code that you'd like to quickly port for use with Apollo, I have also developed an <a href="http://yal.cc/r/17/lua/gen/">online GML->Lua compiler</a>.

While automatic conversion won't make extensive use of Lua-specific language features, it produces functional code in vast majority of cases and the output is clean enough to tweak it manually if needed.

A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine">coroutine</a>, in short, is a function that can pause/resume execution at arbitrary points. These can be used for iterators, cutscenes (pausing/resuming allows to write timing in an intuitive way), tweening, AI, or anything else that benefits from maintaining the state across multi-call execution.

Creates a "thread" state for the given Lua state and returns it's ID.
|

</p><p>
|

Such "threads" share the global context (variables, functions, etc.) with their parent state, but have their own clal stack, meaning that they can do their own thing (namely, executing coroutines) while the parent state does something else.

Does not free resources of the parent state, only what was owned by the thread itself.

|

|

Note that some functions will work oddly (or not work at all) on a state that is currently amidst the coroutine call, which is why you should generally create a thread for the coroutine call.

In case you'd like a custom version (such as to use LuaJIT, or to use a Lua fork with

different syntax), C++ source code is included - it will work with any Lua build

down to 5.1.

The extension runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux - linked dynamically in all cases.

Apollo v2 beta currently only comes with a Windows (GMS1,GMS2) binary,

but you can compile it yourself (code is portable).
|

</p><p>
|

|
Mac may require additional tinkering (via <tt>install_name_tool</tt> - <a href="https://github.com/YellowAfterlife/steamworks.gml/blob/master/build_osx.sh#L7">example</a>), as library inclusion paths may vary depending on whether the game is running from IDE, whether YYC is enabled, and GMS version. If you are familiar with Mac extension development yourself, feel free to get in touch about better ways of handling this.

|
While these are roughly equivalent to GM's <tt>ds_map</tt>s, the two work very differently -
|
||
|
<tt>ds_map</tt>s are passed by-index and managed manually (ds_map_destroy),
|
||
|
Lua' tables are passed by-reference and managed by garbage collector.
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
While future iterations on GML should make it possible to automatically convert between tables and lightweight data structures, this would only allow to return a new table/structure rather than modifying an existing one.
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
The issue can be approached in several ways:
|
||
|
</p><ul>
|
||
|
<li> Expose <tt>ds_map</tt>s to Lua code and use them instead of tables for transfer.
|
||
|
</li><li> Have a wrapper function on Lua side to expand the table into multiple values prior to calling the GML script and/or wrap multiple returned values from GML back into a table.
|
||
|
</li><li> If you do not need to read data from the table (but store/retrieve it), you can convert it to index and back on Lua side via lookup tables (see below).
|
||
|
</li></ul></div></div>
|
||
|
<div class="item"><a class="header" id="Lua-specific-reference-types-cannot-be-transmitted-to-GML-automatically" href="#Lua-specific-reference-types-cannot-be-transmitted-to-GML-automatically" title="(permalink)">Lua-specific reference types cannot be transmitted to GML automatically</a><div class="content"><p>
|
||
|
Lua supports several additional reference types (such as Lua function references),
|
||
|
but these cannot be safely sent to GML as pointers as they are garbage-collected,
|
||
|
and thus may get recycled while still referenced on the GML side of things
|
||
|
(resulting in hard crash when trying to use the passed back value).
|
||
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
A good way to deal with this is to make a pair of lookup tables - since Lua allows table indexes to be of any type, you can do something like the following:
|
||
|
</p> <pre class="lua">ref <span class="op">=</span> <span class="op">{</span>

__r2i <span class="op">=</span> <span class="op">{</span> <span class="op">},</span>
