Using the "string" script class with "char*" parameters?

Jedive · 2005-08-25T17:26:34

Hello guys. Sorry if this has been asked before, but the "search" feature of the forums is disabled. I have exported a bunch of global functions to AngelScript, to make my application scriptable. Some of these functions have a "const char*" style string as parameter, others have a "const char*" string as return value. I have registered the "string" data type in my virtual machine, using the "scriptstring" addon in the AngelScript 2.1.0c package. The problem is that when I try to call one of the functions that need / return a string, the program crashes. I think that this is because the "scriptstring" addon uses a std::string as the "string" type, instad of an array of chars. Do you guys know of a version of the "scriptstring" addon which is compatible with "char*" style strings? Thanks.
