Converting Lua to c++

[marx123]

oke so my question is is it possible to convert lua scripts to c++ for mangos example like we all know mangos is more complicated then arc or whatever else so mabye someone wanna join me and lets starting converting lua custom scripts to c++ (for mangos) that mangos users can have some fun.. im not that good in c++ but mabye anyone is intrested helping out

[Schmoozerd]

what kind of scripts are you talking about?

[Patman128]

Yeah, can you post an example?

I think the best thing would be for you to learn C++ and mangos scripting and do it yourself, because there aren't many people around here who are good at this and aren't busy with other stuff.

Well, here's an example of the first one converted into C++:

Just to show what can be done with a rather poorly written Lua script.

Why do you ask this? You want to learn C++, go practice!

this topic would be better in SD2 forum costum scripts, maybe there are equivalent scripts wich u can edit for your usage ?

Best regards

you could write a metacompiler that converts lua to C++

Though I think this would probably be more difficult than just converting the scripts themselves.

The languages are also very different. And given the quality of most of these Lua scripts, I would really hate to see what they look like in C++. I took a badly written 591 line Lua script and converted it 102 lines of reasonable C++, an automatic generator would have probably given around 500-600 lines of equally redundant code.

If you must run bad Lua scripts, than a Lua engine is probably easier. Otherwise, just redo what you need and get away from Lua altogether.

I checked your script, racial abilities resets, but no new teach.

This should fix?

-pPlayer->learnSpell(spells[i].spell, false);
+pPlayer->learnSpell(spells[i].spell, true);

Instead, the second script you can use this.

/* ScriptData
SDName: item_levelplayer
SD%Complete: 100
SDComment: Used for Leveling characters Random
SDCategory: Items
EndScriptData */

#include"precompiled.h"

bool ItemUse_item_levelplayer(Player* pPlayer, Item* pItem, const SpellCastTargets &pTargets)
{
if ((pPlayer->isInCombat()) || (pPlayer->isInFlight()) || (pPlayer->isDead()))
{
     pPlayer->SendEquipError(EQUIP_ERR_NOT_IN_COMBAT, pItem, NULL);
       return false;
}
     pPlayer->RemoveSpellsCausingAura(SPELL_AURA_MOUNTED);

   outstring_log("player level %i",pPlayer->getLevel());
   if(((pPlayer->getLevel()) + 5) > 80)
   {
       outstring_log("playerlevel+5 > 80 (%i+5=%i)",pPlayer->getLevel(),pPlayer->getLevel()+5);
       if((80 - (pPlayer->getLevel())) > 0)
       {
           outstring_log("leveling for %i levels",(80-(pPlayer->getLevel())));
           pPlayer->GiveLevel(pPlayer->getLevel()+(80 - (pPlayer->getLevel())));  
       }
       else
       {
           outstring_log("level would be 81+, exiting function");
           return true;
       }
   }
   else
   {
       outstring_log("leveling for 5 levels");
       pPlayer->GiveLevel(pPlayer->getLevel()+5);
   }
   pPlayer->DestroyItemCount(pItem->GetEntry(),1,true);
   return true;
}
void AddSC_item_levelplayer()
{
   Script *newscript;

     newscript = new Script;
   newscript->Name="item_levelplayer";
   newscript->pItemUse = &ItemUse_item_levelplayer;
   newscript->RegisterSelf();
   outstring_log("SD2: item_levelplayer loaded");
}
