CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

I get this error when I try to use CEGUI from Lua:

../data/packages/123-123/editor.lua:1: error in function 'new'.
argument #1 is 'class CEGUI::Size'; 'CEGUI::MCLGridRef' expected.

The code which gives this is:

local sizeeee = CEGUI.Size(1,0.1);

Is this some problem with tolua used in CEGUI? How can this be fixed?

It should be like this instead:
local sizeeee = CEGUI.Size:new(1,0.1);

Therefore the example in code snippets is not functional.

you assign to a local variable so you'll probably want to use new_local (allow garbage collection).

If you don't free it manually you're causing memory leaks.

Anyway, I know I have upgraded the tolua++ to a version that fixes this problem, it might just have made it to CVS head though...

Actually, I do, thanks.

Can you be more spesific on the actual problem?

It's a bug in tolua++ which was fixed in 1.0.6

Fixed class constructor bug (it is now possible to use 'ClassName()' to create a lua-owned instance of the class without problems)
