ChiaScript "enviroment"???

[nanoasp]

Hi i am using ChiaScript for game development and i have used lua in my previous projects.

while using ChiaScript i am facing an issue where functions of the same names are being redefined.

this is an issue when i have multiple game objects with a script component with an update function for example.

Currently everytime i attach a new script to the Chia script it overwrite the previous and local variables are lost.
I would need different game objects to run different scripts so ....

lua has a environment where scripts can be run so this issue does not happen.
does ChiaScript have something similar?

or do i have to have a ChiaScript for each game object which is what i probably will try next.

chaiscript::ChaiScript chai;
std::vector mgameObjects;

chai.use("Assets/Scripts/registervar.chai");

mgameObjects->?????

I don't understand your incomplete example; it doesn't seem related to the description of the problem you give earlier.

What does "registervar.chai" contain? Do you mean that the C++ vector mgameObjects is being trashed by running the Chai script? (that obviously shouldn't happen)

Can you provide a small example that shows what you're actually trying to do, on the C++ and ChaiScript sides?

lets say i have 3 game objects.

1. player
2. destructible that spawns an object when destroyed.
3. a turret that points towards player when player is near and start shooting.

i have made 3 different .chia scripts with the 3 different behaviours.

The main question now is how do i link and run the 3 different scripts in runtime that applies their code to 3 different objects.

gameobject{
//gameplaystuff

std::string script = "name of chia script that will be loaded.chia";
}

//list of game objects
std::vector mgameObjects;

gameloop{
std::vector mgameObjects;

//start simulation
start(){
// links gameobjects to chia scripts can calls start.function declared in chia file
for(auto go in mgameObjects){
chai.use(go.script );

}
}
}

//on every frame of simulation
update(){
//Runs chia file linked to game objects.
for(auto go in mgameObjects){
chai.eval_file(go.scripts);

}
}
}

the problem is in the linking i guess?
there is no issue with mgameObjects being trashed.
the content in the chiascripts i am loading is not the issue.
This is an architecture kinda question.
